You know what I really want? A set of the wheels that were on the original Boxster show car back in 1993. Can't find anything remotely resembling them. I have the 18" Turbo wheels and I don't really want larger, I was alongside an '08 with 19"s on it yesterday and it looked like a Peterbilt.

Even the 991 is rolling on 20". Seems a bit silly.

Those originals look like speedlines from a 911 T 3.6. One of my fav all time cars!
