I like those wheels, but I'm looking to paint mine, not buy any. I was more curious to see if anyone has pics of their or someone else's boxster that has colored wheels besides silver, gunmetal, or black..

I wasn't suggesting that you should buy new wheels, the purpose of photo was to give a visual example of a red wheel . Any way, you might like this look .

here's a link i have bookmarked - i love the orange/silver 911 and was hoping to do something similar to my 986 one day (prolly when it becomes a dedicated track whore):

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/340291-post-your-vintage-racing-paint-schemes-here.html

ps, no boxsters, but some coloured rims (green car with yelloow rims anyone ...).

I think either tirerack or discounttire has a section where you can see what a rim will look like on your car...since they have lots of colored rims for sale you can basically see any color you want.

I'll see what I can come up with. I was trying to avoid going with a green or even blue because my cars an S so it has red calipers. I could repaint those as well, but that might be a little more work than I had originally planned
