TeenageBoxsterOwner,

Congratulations!
My first car (circa 1979) was a $300.00 1969 Chevy Impala Custom Coupe...my have times changed.

Reference your question about replacement wheels. My 1999 Boxster had the turbo twist wheels. I replaced mine with a set of OEM wheels and new tires that came off a 2001 Boxster.

I recommend you check out Craigslist, Ebay and Oklahoma Foreign (right down the road in Bethany/Norman, OK).

Be patient and you will be able to replace your wheels with some handsome OEM wheels for quite abit less than $1000.00 and may even get some good tires to go with.

I agree with all my other partners in crime...pocket the $1000.00 for the time being. If you must spend some money, purchase a maintenance manual for 986 Boxsters.

Just my two cents.
