You better be in love with your thin scrub brush because those honeycomb wheels are gonna need a lot of attention once a week to keep them clean.
For really nice, low cost Italian wheels, check out www.wheeldynamics.com I got carrera lights from them and love them. |
Thanks for the link.. they have the exact set that i want for about half the cost! and yes .. those wheels will be a bear to keep clean but it would be worth it ..
i asked to be ur friend on facebook - im scott :cheers: |
Those wheels look pretty snazzy. I sign off on them. And yeah, cleaning will be a whippin'.
To save others a click, here's a preview: http://www.getyourwheels.com/images/r10_boxster2.jpg I have the same ones Randall has... they're Carrera replicas -but to me look better than the real thing because they're flush with the side of the car (whereas the factory rims are tucked in the fender a bit). |
don't do it. lips are out.

I have the miro alt 349 on my car.
They look close to what you are looking for. http://www.altwheels.com/products/category.php?id=1&pg=1 |
Very nice looking wheels. I'd love to get a set.

19"s.. OUCH! How much do they weigh?
I couldn't pull those off around these parts, roads are too rough. I would give it about a month before I dented one of the front wheels. Djomlas has a great set of wheels which I don't think were too expensive. Personally I wouldn't spend more than $1400 on any cast alloy wheel. If you're going over $2K get forged wheels. The cast alloy wheels will bend like a pepsi can, and that includes my factory 5 spoke Carreras. Luckily I bought them when the Euro wasn't as strong for $1900. Check out ccwheel.com they're gaining a reputation for rock bottom prices on forged wheels. They have a mesh wheels similar to the wheels on Ebay that work on Boxsters and remarkably weigh 20 pounds just like Carrer light wheels. |
for the looks, mesh wheels are beautiful, but once it takes u 3 times longer to wash and dry the wheels than the car, screw that.
thx PL, i really like these, they are good quality as well, and dont take too long to clean either, and look great too :) good luck with whatever you decide, but that looks too much money for what u get, and possible back problems that wil cost more than that hehe |
Thanks for your opinions. but i do c having them be 19s flaunting my already poor gas mileage. Those carrera replicas seem like they would be a good wheel for the long run, not many problems going that way =]

Those rims are kind of pricey! But look cool. And yes, a ******************** to keep clean. I had that style before and got rid of them because they take way to long to clean. Good luck. :cheers:

Rims
I disagree on cleaning mesh rims ... simple three step process:
Spray P21-S on dry wheels Wash with long handle wheel brush and soapy water Rinse and dry with leaf blower I've OEM Sport Classic IIs made by BBS for Porsche and a battery powered blower that makes this easy. Just my two cents worth, Reynard |
Hey Porsche986spyder,
Do you mind sharing where you obtained your wheels? I checked out your webpage and your wheels are very nice indeed. :cool: |
