Doubt they are genuine, if there are then one of them is worth more than the car they are on

they'll be 4 front ones.
they'll work fine on a Mk4 or 5 astra, Vectra C, Signum, something big with a non 49 offset

I plan on having those wheels on my car in the future. Those look genuine, they don't cost that much on the second hand market. Thought they normally have a few marks on them which would need repairing.
With regards to the offset. Porsche use a high offset meaning you can put the adapters on and not have too much of an issue there. The main problem is the width, they are something like 10" wide at the bake meaning wide arches are needed. Unless you like that stupid look with tyres that don't fit the wheels.

You mean stretched tyres? Can look good in some contexts imo. I think if your gonna do this tho there is a lot to be said for a nice set of Design 90's!

Design 90's can look fantastic on the right car. My car wont have the right look to pull it off though.

if i remember correctly that astra (first post above) was built by calibre coachworks years back and was featured in Fast Car.
The wheels are copies I am sure of it.
One of the astrasport memembers had it for a short time, then a garage had it and tried to sell it on ebay, this car has changed hands soo many times over the last few years. Maybe its being stripped and the parts being sold of now. It had a C20LET in as well.
Oh a Mk4 Van with the rims on
