Are these 18" wheels original?
These 18", three piece wheels are on the 2001 Boxster I just purchased. I am wondering if they are Porsche or aftermarkets? Would prefer 17" Turbo Twists. A bit too much bling for my tastes.
thanks

Look like aftermarkets to me as I can't recall seeing that style before, also are those tyres stretched ?

When you take them off you may find markings that will tell you more.
