Best place to shop for wheels, ideas please.

987 Boxster S 18" wheels deleivered with PS2 rubber on them--new car take offs. I use them now as a track set.
Check out the wheels that Jeph got--Carrera knock offs that ran about $1K and they look great.

I have to agree with RandallNeighbour. I read about http://www.wheeldynamics.net here on the board. I sent Carlos a bunch of emails, trying to choose just the right combination for my car. He was very responsive and never lost his patience, regardless of my stupid questions. When I finally did pull the trigger, he shipped the wheel and tire package to me immediately. The wheels arrived quickly and they were carefully packaged. In fact, the rims I chose for my car were back-ordered 7-9 weeks at Discount Tire Direct and the other big retailers, but Carlos said he could get them anyway...and he did. Carlos is my new wheel guy, no question.

I checked out the sites and KRATZCO's wheels, wow. Those wheels are nice. Im thinking 19's now for sure I like the black center and polised lips.

I bought wheel spacers for my 911 from Ernies Alloys in FL and their customer service is triple top notch. I bought a set of 17" turbo twist replicas with Porsche insignia centers and chrome valve stems (also with porsche insignias). They came with Continental tires mounted and balanced. $1200 and change. I waited till the end of the day at the Hershey PA swap meet to make my deal and loaded them in my truck. I can't remember the name of the dealer but it seems to me that swap meets are great places to but Porsche stuff. I got Super Blue brake fluid for 10 bucks a quart from one guy. If you can wait a bit and make it to Hershey you may be able to score a deal. Of course you obviously have to have a way to get the stuff back to make the frieght savings. Might look a little funny with 4 wheels and tires strapped to the trunk of your Boxter.

These would be nice...don't know if they fit your model/year:

I also recommend http://www.wheeldynamics.net I just today received a set of Carrera Lightweights 18 inch with Michelin Pilot Sports mounted and balanced that I got from them. Carlos took care of me and was responsive and informative and sent tracking numbers before I ever even asked. I've already got them on my 2001. Looks awesome. Definitely recommend them

My people speak the truth... wheeldynamics.net served me well. $979 for the Carrera replicas, no spacers required. By the way, even the Porsche dealership was impressed with the look of them. That is, they were very surprised that they were replicas.



At that price, you can almost take your pick of any tires you want to stay under the $2k price point.
