I have a 2001 Boxster S. I need a 2nd set of wheels for winter tires. This guy in another state will sell me wheels that he says are off his 1999 Boxster, and these wheels have nice winter tires on them.

The trouble is that the part numbers are different, even though the tire sizes and offsets are the same as what I have.

For example, the P/N for his rear wheel is #996 362 126 05
The P/N for my rear wheel is #986 362 126 05

I'd hate to buy them and pay for shipping only to find they don't fit my car. Anybody know if his wheels will fit on my car?
