These are 2001-2003 Boxster wheels;

Front - 17" x 7" ET55 PN 986.362.124.01 with Toyo RA1 235/40/17 (shaved 4/32's)
Rear - 17" x 8.5 ET48 PN 986.362.126.06 with Toyo RAI 255/40/17 (shaved 4/32's)

Some people think that this style Boxster wheel bears some resemblance (however slight) to the older Fuch's style from the 70's.

I like this style quite a bit more than the standard Turbo II wheels (black in top photo).

This is what they look like in OEM finish:
