I apologize in advance if this is covered in the linked thread, but I don't have the time to read 90+ replies.

Those 18's will work on an 00S IF the offsets are correct. The proper Boxster offset for 8x18 is 50 and 10x18 is 47 (+ or - a couple, but in this neighborhood). 911 wheels will be similar in front but something like 65 on the rear and that won't work on a Box unless you want to use a huge spacer (which you don't).

There are lots of wheels on ebay saying they'll fit every Porsche known to man, but don't buy anything until you know the offsets are correct for a Box.

Do a search on offset and you'll get a real education.
