Nope.
They are 911 twists. Boxster twists were only 8 ½” for the rears.

Those wheels are NOT turbo twists. They did not come on a turbo car, therefor should not be called such. They were available on boxsters and 996's with different sizes.

Turbo twists were offered on 993 and 996 Turbos. Obviously, the 996TT had Turbo Twist 2. Much sharper edges and look compared to the 993 Twists.
