Those are Sport Classic II 17" rims.
If you want to sell them, please let me know. I have been hunting for a set, maybe we can work out a deal.

Rick, you're obviously in love with wheel cleaning, huh?

Those rims are nice looking, but an extra half hour ever time one washes the car to wash and dry between each of the spokes makes me awfully pleased with my five spoke Carrera lights! I can even put my hand inside the wheel to clean the inside of the rim.

yeah when it comes to wheel cleaning, those had to be the worst wheels ever.
took longer to wash and dry them than washing a boxster 5 times no joke.

definitely a major PITA to keep clean. When looking for my Boxster I stayed way clear of those. They reminded me too much of the wheels my wife had on her Volvo S80 - Arrakis. They looked great when clean, but absolutely like s**t w/in a short drive. The only way to clean the insides is..... you guessed, jack the corner and pull it off

I don't mind the cleaning time. But I have to get a set first.
