Those kill the look of the car. I'm not feeling the wing on the back either....something that size belongs on a 777.

Ouch! I had to sheild my eyes from the horror.

Regarding performance: There are two things we know for sure that will make a Boxster slower. Three bags of cement in the trunk, and heavy 20" aftermarket rims. People do funny things to their cars.

I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing those and died happy. Now I know their is some with worse taste then me

At least they aren't hubcap spinners.

LOL I see this one guy near my work that has an Escalade with satelite TV and huge hubcap spinners. Looks really bad.

A salvage title & 20 inch spinners. I can't believe there are 22 bids on it... And you are right - hubcap spinners are as bad as those fake Quattroporte vents that people have been gluing onto their cars lately...

Although, luckily, I have never seen them on a Porsche...

Buicks come with fake Quattroporte side vents as standard! The amount of ripping off there is simply amazing.

A Boxster with 20 inch spinners will look just as bad as an Escalade with 4 inch wheels (it looks ugly enough as it is already). Yeaaaaa
