This is a full set of 4 carrera 5-spoke lightweight wheels in standard boxster sizing sizes are:
front - 18"x7.5", 53mm offset
rear - 18"x9.0", 50mm offset

They've got tires mounted to them...the incredible Michelin Pilot Sport tires, 225/40 f and 265/35 r. The tires have 8k miles on them....the fronts have probably 40-50% tread left, the rears have approx 20-25% tread left.

The wheels are in perfect functional condition...no bends, dents, scratches, etc.
I bought them 3 months ago directly from Porsche because of their unique look...they have the traditional painted silver lips but have black painted spokes. The paint job from the factory was, in my mind, substandard as the black paint has started to chip of in little spots. They still look great unless you inspect them closely. I've check out getting them fixed...wheeltechniques in santa clara quoted $400 to completely refinish the rim to new. In the interim, I've found some kinesis rims that I prefer. So, instead of fixing these wheels before selling them, I thought I'd give a discount on these and so that some one could either a) use them as is and have good looking amazing lightweight 5-spokes for cheap, or b) refinish them in whatever color scheme the new owner wanted.
Many pics available, or come see them in San Jose.
