That would be great! I've also talked to someone on the Boxster Wheels, but he is concerned that they will actually clear the brakes/are the correct wheels. I'm not sure how to verify. Maybe someone on the list can help.
Here's all the info from inside the wheels.
Rear
986.362.126.05 (part number)
8.5Jx17 ET50 (width & offset)
FR 5750N ?
6K AIS 7Mg ?
Front
986.362.124.00 (part number)
7Jx17 ET55 (width & offset)
FR 4400N ?
6K AIS 7Mg ?

Richard, I can vouch for Boxster "S" wheel fitment, as I ran a set on my GT for a few years w/no problems.
If you don't find a 928 buyer, you may want to post these on the 911 board, as these look really nice on narrow bodied 911's. I sold mine to a guy with a '91+/- narrow body, and it looked great with these wheels.
This pic. is a more flattering shot of Joe Mattiko's '89 GT wearing Boxster "S" wheels. This car sold at Barrett-Jackson a year or so ago.
The second one is of my GT w/the S wheels.
- They cleared my big Brembos (not quite as big as big reds, but bigger than most others).
- The front offsets, although not ideal, worked okay after getting 225's on them. The rear offsets were fine, and I ran the original SXX on the rear.
- I didn't need spacers on the rears, and doubt than any non-GT or pre-S4 would need spacers on the rears. With the stock GT rolled fenders, they could have stood to have been moved outward a bit for aesthetics.
- Although front fitment was good (no rubbing, lock-to-lock issues) the Porsche centercaps wouldn't fully seat in the wheel bore. I cut off about 10mm from the shoulder of the dust cap. This isn't uncommon with many non-oem wheels, as the interface is thinner than stock 928 wheels, in fact, my new RAL's wouldn't have allowed center caps without having decreased the profile of the caps.
- The fronts will take up to 225's, which I wholeheartedly recommend. I ran the original SXX 205's and got some tramlining due to the thinness of the tires, and the 15mm lack of front offset. A buyer looking to put these on a 928 may not be able to benefit from having new 205's on your set, since they really should be replaced w/225's for proper handling on a 928.
