I am worried about the radiator and cooling as apposed to the looks, blue owner seems very ready to sell, he sent me 16 photos of the car yesterday haha! The rims look odd too though, opinions on the rims of the blue car?

All the pictures I can see of the Blue car rims are facing the sun. I cant see much but they do appear to be turbo twist rims.

My concern is actually the center caps, they are porsche but I have only seen black logo and colored never this silver center cap.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1401461989.jpg

Could have went for the late-'80s/early-'90s style caps, which were all silver but with the crest formed. My dad's 964 had them (until he painted the crest features black).

The wheels are the 17" boxster S
 
twist design...similar to but different than the turbo/technology twist rims which are usually 18".

Agreed, those are the 17" Boxster S rims, I have the same ones; I like the way they look, very "aggressive" sort of :)

I have the silver only center caps on mine. I actually like them better than the ones with the black on them.

Just had never seen them before, they look good, i was just worried they were not OEM.

I can see the difference in the design with the last picture Jake posted. I like that design.

We counter offered insurance Wednesday, and have yet to hear back, which means waiting another long weekend before we get this settled sadly.
