So what kind of rims doI have?
As some of you know, I bought a 2000 Boxster about a month ago without doing a lot of research before the purchase. I was actually looking to buy a Toyota MR2 but "somehow" ended up with a Boxster instead. Even though it cost more $$$ than the MR2 but it is worth every penny. 
So npw getting to the point, I am not sure what kind of rims I have on my car. I know they are stock rims and 17" but it is different from all the cars I have seen here in this forum. What kind of rims are these?  I am thinking of buying nicer rims (18 or 19 inch). If I sell it, will anyone buy it? How much do you think I can get if I sell them. :chicken:

Those are Sport Classic II 17" rims.
If you want to sell them, please let me know. I have been hunting for a set, maybe we can work out a deal.

Rick, you're obviously in love with wheel cleaning, huh?
Those rims are nice looking, but an extra half hour ever time one washes the car to wash and dry between each of the spokes makes me awfully pleased with my five spoke Carrera lights! I can even put my hand inside the wheel to clean the inside of the rim.

yeah when it comes to wheel cleaning, those had to be the worst wheels ever.
took longer to wash and dry them than washing a boxster 5 times no joke.

definitely a major PITA to keep clean. When looking for my Boxster I stayed way clear of those. They reminded me too much of the wheels my wife had on her Volvo S80 - Arrakis. They looked great when clean, but absolutely like s**t w/in a short drive. The only way to clean the insides is..... you guessed, jack the corner and pull it off

I traded in a silver 2003 MR2 in mint condition for my 2002 Boxster. It's got way more miles on it than my Spyder did and doesn't compare to the Spyder in MPG but it's the best choice I ever made. Wise choice!
Just a few things that the Boxster has over the MR2
- Horsepower (the MR2 is light so it's fairly quick but over 4500 RPMs and it's 4 cylinders sound like a model airplane on crack)
- Automatic top
- Canvas top vs vinyl (If you put your top down every day in the Spyder it wears out, cracks and peels.)
- Storage space (MR2, there's only enough room in an MR2 for two duffel bags behind the seat. The engine is in the back and the only thing under the hood is a spare)
- It's a Porsche not a Toyota
