What wheels and aerokit is this?

I tried to do a search, but several types of kits showed up. And couldn't really find much info on these mesh wheels. Owner claims the wheels are oem Porsche option.

Thanks in advance!

I dont think the rims are OEM, the rear lip is to deep. The patten looks oem just not the deep lip.

The side skirts I have seen for awhile they were popular at one time I just dont remember who made them.

Otherwise what is up with the chrome engine vent to the front trunk?

The wheels are definitely aftermarket, probably something from the Alt line-up . As far as the side skirts are concerned, several aftermarket companies offer that style, most notably being Precision Porsche . The faux front vent is an Ebay special .

Here is a pic of the front bumper. Is this some generic aftermarket bumper? Previous owner is an older fellow who doesn't seem to know much about the car.

haha that's what i questioned. If I'm purchasing this car, that thing is going in the garbage. He says it's magnetic and removable.
