These are the wheels that came on my new (to me) 2002 Boxster S. Anybody know who makes them, or have any other info about them (weight, etc.)? Just curious.

If they look just like those and are 17" wheels then they are Sport Classic wheels - which were are a Porsche optional wheel.

If they are 18" and have bolts holding the rim together then they are Sport Classic II's.

They're the 17" Sport Classics. Just wondering who made them for Porsche. I haven't had them off of the car yet to see if there are any markings on the inside of the rim.

I would hazard to say Porsche uses a number of manufacturers for the OEM wheels, for example the Cayman S 5-spoke are made by Ronal in Germany, the 17" that came on my 2006 were made in Italy by... ? The 18" Boxster S wheels are made in Belgium by... ?

If you look at the back side of the wheel there may be a manufacturer's name and possibly a country of origin.

They are BBS. Have them on my 03'. Not sure of the exct weight but they feel sort of heavy. Looking to upgrade to 18" Carrera Lightweights.
