I understand that under certain racing or "track" applications, wheel and tire size are subject to great debate. However, at no point did I suggest that changing wheels for the sake of appearance was wrong provided that said wheels had the correct fitment . In fact, the only point that I stressed was that there was no way that an 11 inch wheel would ever fit 986 boxster. Lastly, other than the OZ wheel that you mentioned, I challenge you to name a few after market companies that offer a high quality 18 inch wheel that is strong, light weight and reliable and is designed specifically for a Porsche. I know of very few .

Challenge? Lol. What, are we in third grade? Ok, here's a few 18" wheels from decent wheel makers...
HRE: 563R, C95, 593R, 560C
BBS: RSGT 2-piece forged
Volk TE37
I can research some others if you like, but I'm about to go on a 5 HR flight, so we can continue this when I get back if you really want to. IMO, on the 986, 18s work well as a good balance of attributes, and on the 987, 19s work ok. But again, that's off topic.
