I'm shopping for wheels for my box, found this auction on ebay:

Anyone have a pic of these wheels on a box, preferably a seal gray 986?

Josh, I don't have a pic of a boxster with them on it, but I will tell you that I bought my carrera lights from this seller and they are superb. This seller has great product and they are very customer-service oriented. Can't say enough good things about both the seller and the product.

I bought my rims from him and had him put PS2's on them before he shipped them to me. Price was about the same as Tire Rack, but he mounted and balanced them beautifully. All I had to do was put them on and drive. Nice.

PS - If I had it all to do over again, I'd buy these rims instead of my carrera lights. They were not available at the first of the year when I bought mine. I love the look of them.

Randall's definitely right about this vendor. I got my wheels from him also. He's got a nice selection and his customer service is top notch. He just started carrying the 997tt wheels. Shoot him an email and see if he has any pictures of those rims on a Boxster. He has a lot of photos of customer cars. If the car isn't Seal Gray, I bet DJ could fix that, post haste!

Wow, those are some impressive wheels. I've seen them before, but I never really paid attention. They really change the look of the car!

Will they really fit on a 986? They look like they are a full inch wider (both front and back) than stock.

The problem with posting a thread like this on this forum is that people like me look at the auction and now you have some eBay competition!

(I'm kidding -- but if I click on that link again I might just accidently press the buy it now button...)

Let us know what you do & post some pics.

Those rims look decent, but I do have to wonder how they'll flow on a 986.

The biggest problem I have with those rims though is this:

WOW!!! Jeph, you just ruined those rims for me

thanks for the pics and replies. I actually did email him and ask.

The one pic of that boxster does look pretty good, the lines on the side vent and front bumper in combination with the lines on the wheels make it look a little busy, but it wouldn't prob look that way on a 968.

I'll have to take a pic of my car from that angle and photoshop them on there.

Keep the pics coming, if anyone else has one...
