Minilites/Panasports
That style of wheel was popular for racing back in the 60's and 70's. They were stronger than stock/steel wheels and usually lighter. Originals were magnesium. They also came with a splined hub to replace wire wheels with knock-off hubs (wires had a great look but were not a great wheel for racing.) I expect they are a bit heavy by modern standards for racing/track -- when minilite moved on the minilite replicas were aluminium and not as light, cheaper but heavier. May be a cool look on a boxster but may be a bit too retro. I have never actually seen them in a wheel bigger than a 15". May be cool to see a photoshop picture.
ATB,
