Sorry mate... sport cars should all have silver, or aluminum, wheels. Especially with a blue paint... you don't want to put dark looking wheels... unless you are 17 years old and are in batman/ghostrider... that kinda thing.

RE gold wheels.... the cops will be all over you thinking you are drug dealer brotha. That's also a no-go!

Silver, trust me

agreed! Silver or a very slight version is what should be on sports cars. Anything else either looks goofy or just plain ugly. That is my opinion and of many others. Please do not mess up your Boxsters good looks

Just thought of a couple colors that are ok with black- yellow and white can use black but it has to be the right rims and really needs a splash of body color on rim. I have seen both of them both ways looks ok and looks bad.

Put whatever wheels please you the most on the car. The factory had adorned their cars with orange wheels or worse yet the ugly GT3 fender graffiti and someone has the brass ones to say don't ruin the look of the car? I don't care much for the conversion mobiles out there like the recent Gemballa kit shown in its own thread, however, if I'm not driving it I'm fine with someone else thinking it looks good. What happened to individualism anyway?

Color and accessories are subjective on your car. The style of owning a Porsche is the only thing we all have in common. Enjoy it but just know if you ask for help you're going to get tons of feedback both good and bad.

I like the stock/factory look but that's just my opinion. Enjoy!
