Look at this 1990 Miata:

Hi, Al. Those are definitely Boxster Turbo Twist wheels. Which, by the way, are my favorites. If I bought a 986 that had fancy wheels, I'd replace them with Turbo Twists. Hard to improve upon perfection.

I like them too, and I wish I had them because they seem so much easier to clean than mine. Especially that damn brake dust.

That's definitely not a Boxster body, though.

And BTW that front frame is not from a Boxster, either.
