Very cool. You can also say, nice recovery from that slide where the wheels were visible. I thought I knew all the 17" Boxster wheels but those look different - I am going to embarrassed if they turn out to be the regular Carrera twist wheels...

You should not be embarrassed only Tom should be. They are Sport Edition Cup 4 wheels from tire rack. They have a 52mm offset, I sent them to a machine shop to machine the offset to 48mm-50mm to comply to the rules.

I thought that's what they might be, very cool, some more alternatives for wheels!

I'm assuming you mean they were 45 mm offset and they removed 5 mm from the mounting pad, making them 50mm offset? If they were 52, they would have to add 2 mm.
