All,

Forgot how sweet one of my 996 C2's (I've owned 2) looked with these Boxster wheels. I'm pretty sure they were an optional wheel for Boxster but not 100%. I purchased the car with these mounted.

You don't see them around much on the 996 but I really like the look. Sort of similar in design the the Lobster Claw.

Just picked my car up from Aker's Porsche for routine service and found Boxster with the same wheels.

I think they were an option on the "S" Boxster

Wikipedia:
A lobster pick or lobster fork is a long, narrow food utensil used to extract meat from joints, legs, claws, and other small parts of a lobster. Lobster picks are usually made of stainless steel and weigh as much as an average teaspoon. They have a long, textured cylindrical handle, ending in a crescent-shaped moderately sharp pick, or else a small two-tined fork. The other end may have a spoon for scooping out meat from inside the lobster.[1] The lobster pick can also be used with other seafood, such as crab and crawfish.[1]

I loved the 997 wheels I put on my 2004 996 C2...

To me, those boxsta' wheels look forked up.
