Since my bug is not going anywhere and its rims have still M+S (winter) tires on them, I thought I'd try them on the square: They fitted :eek:

Since these are 7+8,5J x 17, that was very much a (pleasant) surprise :D
Damn, it almost immediately looks a GL now :laugh:

Thought, I'd share my joy.

Hi Jason,
They are porsche Boxster wheels, made for porsche by BBS. Both manufactorers logos are stamped on the back of the wheels :D
ET front is 55, rear wheels have ET50.

Tnx,
Walter

The square has been sold; those wheels are now on my 412S, in case you missed out on that:

What is the offset on those wheels? I'm looking for the same dimension for my Type-34 Ghia too.

You wouldn't have the picture of the Square with those wheels anywhere?

Hi Wally

Not saying anything bad about your Type 3, but "wheels make the car" It just looks so right with those wheels./

You're totally right Steve. Like I wrote earlier, I sold the car, so no worries ;)

Oddly enough, all of my cars (1303, 412) I have put these wheels under, looked 100% better with them...
