onebad928, those are not the same wheels even though they are for a Boxster.

Call me a "purist", I guess. Original wheels are what sets each year of change apart from the rest. If you want Boxster wheels, go buy a Boxster to go with them. If you like the look of newer wheels on your "old bugger", maybe you should consider buying a newer model shark. My 2 cents - for what it's worth.

Thanks Martin,
but my question for Lag was for the offsets for the wheels he was looking at because he said the wheels from his boxster wouldnt fit

Martin,
Where did you buy the Sport Classic IIs from? I've been considering them for my S4, but they are considerably more expensive new than the Rivas which I'm also considering.

Thanks,
Gary
