It was someone else on the "no snob Porsche 944 squad" group on FB. So you are the second person I know of that has brooksmotos wheels.
I have the RH Alurads and they are about 25# each, and I found some data on RL from someone that weighed the Speedlines, and they are the same at roughly 25# each!!!!! I really like the look, and have had mine rebuilt once as well as the original bill of sale (I'm the third owner of the set). There is another company that makes the same looking wheel called Tramont out of Europe. Rotiform has something similar in their CustomSpec Forged group (called KLU) along with custom 3 piece phone dials style also in the CustomSpec Forged (called STR) as well. I've seen a picture of the 3 piece phone dial style with gold polished center on a lowered 944....interesting. Another similar Porsche wheel from Rotiform in that grouping is called the FUC.
BTW, how's the repaint going?

I googled and got this ebay page

https://www.ebay.com/str/brooksmotoswheels

LOTS of familiar designs but COMPLETE SETS only at less than primary suppliers prices and there is a 17" set available that look like yours. But if you look at the info for the seller you get:

Location: China
Member since: Jul 21, 2020
Seller: brooksmotos_wheels

so maybe a knockoff of the 3.6 Turbo Speedline design.

That may have been me! The 3.6 Turbo speedlines are A) Rare B) Insanely expensive and C) Very hard to get the correct offset for a 944. The brooksmotos wheels are cast and very heavy (so are real 3.6's) but you cannot beat the price for a set of "show" wheels. When I purchased mine, they only had silver or black available. I reached out to them and asked if they could do a matte grey and they had them to me in a month.
