They're not MY02s. I think they're called Carrera IIs.

They are Carrera IIIs. Look like 10" rears (less concave than the 11"), so NB offsets.

my thoughts too! why go back to 17" ? - wheels are personal taste of course but that is a sharp set up you have now....

Yep, Carrera IIIs as ilko correctly pointed out. About $1-1.2K worth of wheels if in good condition.

"Why?" is a very personal question. I personally like 17s, but run 18th on my cab since they are easier to find used and change every so often if one wants to. But my winter tires are 17th and I like the look.
