I know I should know the answer to this, but what are these wheels called? Thinking about getting a set when it comes time to buy new tires. I’m interested in dropping from 19” to 18” wheels to compare ride quality.

I've always referred to them as Carrera 02 (or Carrera Model Year 02 wheels), I think some part of that may be true.

Cheers!

MY02's is the common term. Technically, I think they are Carrera II???

They look great on the blue C2. Love the simplicity. It’s gonna be either those or these in bronze. I dig the way they look on a black car.

The BBS Carrera II's are light and easy to keep clean. They would look great in Bronze/Gold I bet.

What wheels are those? The image uploaded is blurry on my end which makes it hard to tell. Are they HRE Classic 300's?

The original post are, as others have said, "MY 02's" but specifically they look like the shot-peened, semipolished ones from the 40th anniversary edition. Regular MY02's are just silver painted but the 40th's had this odd chrome finish that wasn't mirror chrome and is of course very hard to repair/replicate.

I stumbled across them on Ebay. “Flow Form” is the brand. Very inexpensive so not sure about the quality. Originally I was thinking about bronze wheels but I’m now leaning toward Apex SM-10s in silver.

The bronze wheels look like HRE FF01s to me. HRE “Flow Form” 01.

I don't think they are HREs. Made in China and $1026 for a set..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/18x8-5-18X1...item5d7d309c87
