I like the black rims for obvious reasons. But if you get the ones you have painted, they won't be able to polish or chrome those lips on those particular rims. Those are one piece painted silver. Nothing to seperate the spokes from the lip. You would have to paint them solid black or buy new rims that are at least a 2 piece with the seperate lip, either polished or chrome.

Speed yellow is a beautiful color for the Boxster. I'd paint the top to match.

I also have a Speed Yellow Boxster. I have been looking for a hard top and wondered if I found a black one would I leave it black or paint to match. Thanks to your pics, I say PAINT TO MATCH!. There's a fellow on Rennlist who has a SY boxster with matching hardtop. Looks quite nice.

I had a red hard top on my white Miata. I thought the red gave a little pizzaz to the drab white. Speed yellow is already pretty eye catching. I think the matching hard top on the Boxster gives the car a sleek appearance from certain angles. You can always have a black top when you are using the soft top.

However, you should do whatever makes you happy.
