So, your wheels look like these:

Design 90's were never really that popular to replicate, at least not as popular as the later wheels (the Cups, mostly) because they came on most, if not all, Porsche model lines of that era. Chances are great that you wheels are indeed the real deal. I believe there was a company that replicated them, but that was a long time ago. These replica wheels however, are usually not forged, but rather they are cast.
One thing about Porsche's wheels, is that they are nearly perfect. If they have manufacturing blemishes, or look to be of an inferior grade of metal or craftsmanship, then they are probably not genuine.
Overall though, without seeing any pictures, and given the relative commonness of these wheels, I would say you are more likely to have a set of the real article, than not.
