Thanks - it is a 6sp. It had to be a 6sp for me!!

The wheels were a 2001 option for the Boxster S. I recently discovered they came standard issue on the GT3. I have not seen any others in my search with that wheel.

They are a two piece wheel ... i will get two refinished as the previous owner scraped the lips.

Congratulations Brian on a great purchase. It looks like it is in great condition. Haz is right in suggesting IMS upgrade. The first thing I did on my 2001 Box base was have the IMS Guardian installed.

They're 18 inch Sport Design wheels. My boxster came through with them also.
