Holy cow these wheels are NOICE.

I had them mounted on my new Toyo Proxes RA-1's,
First impresion:



First these tires are amazing. So much bite, and very decent in the rain.
Got stuck for about 15 miles in a downpour, and no hydroplanning or "numbness" for a dedicated DOT legal track tire. Sun came out and then the fun really started.
If I only had money for one mod this would be it.

THe only strange part was getting use to the higher stance vs. my 17"s
But like every other mod you get use to it fast.
The lightweight of these wheels means ZERO deteriotaion in ride quality even with rigild sidewalled tires.
And lastly, the looks. Pictures really don't do it justice on a Boxster.

If I didn't already have 18" turbo twists, these would definately be the wheels that I would get.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Your car would look even better with Speed Yellow side intake gills. Only about a $50 upgrade.

I had those on before I swapped them out for a pair of carbon ones I got off ebay. Figured they looked more unique and just a tad sportier.... hopefully
