real or fake wheels?

Can anyone here help determine if these are real or those imitation GT3 wheels? They were advertised by a local tuner shop on craigslist as GT3/4s wheels, but obviously have the 4s caps. Also, I was shown pictures of the car, it was a 4s as best as I could tell. Definitely not a GT3.

They are 8's and 11's, with 50 and 45 offsets. In what research I did do, I think these are legit sizes, with two different offsets made for the rears? And the part numbers seem legit in format, though I could not find exact part numbers searching online anywhere:

996.362.136.02
996.362.142.02

Additionally, they are stamped "ITALY" While this is better than being stamped "CHINA" I see that the GT3 clones sold elsewhere are advertised as being made in Italy.

So, are these real?
