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):

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.

two words

black-chrome

Kabel- They actually were black chrome before I got into a nasty pothole. They always got really dirty quickly though

Wingnut- Love you're car. One of the best looking boxster I've seen. Thanks for the pic

Johnny- You also have one of the nicest boxster's ive seen on here too, although I wont lie, I don't like yellow, but you're is badass.

I would love to buy new wheels, but thats not in the budget so I was planning on just respraying the ones I have since I have a good set of tires for them. If I can afford new rims, I'd probably go with Forgeline since they are a Dayton company and a good buddy is one of the programmers there and have met the owner. Every time I go there it's like car porn. Stacks of rim shells in every size you'd ever want ready to be pieces together.

The idea if I painted them orange or red would to resemble a GT3. I have seen those pics of them you posted, but was hoping someone had pics of a boxster they already tried to make look like that. Theres one on porschestripes or whatever that site is called that makes the vinyls

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

You like orange

[Jake D]

Awesome. Thanks man. For some reason, I do like that. Might just go ahead and spray them orange. The center caps are powdercoated black so some of it will still be broken up anyways.

You call that a motorcycle?!

I call that an engine that you sit on with some wheels attached! That thing is bare!

Thats how I like to build my bikes. If it doesn't make it stop or go its not needed. I've never had turn signals or a speedometer or any of that junk on any of the bikes I've ever owned. No weight+big engine= good ****************. That bike is a 1200cc and fulled gassed up it weighed right around 420lbs. No front brake,suicide shift also makes for a good time.


One of the reasons I liked the box. No traction control or anything like that.. it's a fairly simple car. Once again, if it doesn't make it stop or go, it really isnt needed.

that's how it's supposed to be:
Too much engine for not enough bike
