Smile Wheel Offset Question

Hello Folks,

Thought i'd ask around before i consider this set of wheels..

18 x 7.5 (front) ET50 part# 99336213406
18 x 9 (rear) ET 52 part # 993362138.01
Will they fit NO problem?
I intend to install them on my '04 986S, Wheels stamped Made in Italy, are they original OEM or aftermarket? Seller does not have a clue, but says its 100% OEM?

Thanks for the info...

I think some of the oem wheels were made in Italy, does it have "Not original equipment" or similar stamped on the inside? If it has wheel width and offset embossed by the Valve stem it is likely OEM, although at least one of the oem twists doesn't.
