Ben,

Thanks for the offer of sending the first two pictures. I'll send the rest
later this week. The wheels in the pictures you have are from a 2002 Porsche
Boxster S. I recently acquired a complete set of wheels from a 2001 Boxster
S. They are slightly different (I prefer the 2002s), but the rear offset is
actually better for my application.

Please feel free to send the pictures.

Bruce
