-1999 Porsche Boxster
-Tiptronic/Automatic transmission (I cant drive stick yet)
-Silver (don't know if its arctic silver or ?)
-132,000 miles
I want to put some new wheels on the car, and i have $1000 to spend. But they also need to be 17's to fit the current tires because they are brand new $1500 tires. (I have the stock turbo twists) But I dont want them to look too small I also want to get a decklid mounted spoiler! not a body kit with side skirts or anything. Any suggestions?
Anyways, I am excited to be a part of this forum and driving my boxster to school!
Be very careful when talking about spoilers. The Boxster is not a vehicle that most here (myself included) like looking like a ricer.

I will also echo what most here have said. Save that money until you have put a few miles on her. There are maintenance items you will want to look into before you start modding. When was the last time the brakes were bled? How are the brakes/rotors? When was the last oil change? If you are at all mechanically inclined invest in a manual, it will pay off in spades. Then the wheels won't be such a burden on the pocket book.
