What are some light weight 17" Wheels for Boxster?

[Smallblock454]

The original Fuchs rims are made of forged aluminium. So if you want light ones you have to go for the original.

Think the OZ Ultraleggera rim is lighter than the Fuchs.

I thinks itsnotanova means the 986 Boxster S II 17" rims. I've a attached a photo.

Yes that's the style. Good luck finding some now though. Spec guys are buying them from Asia and Europe because they can't find them here

These are probably good but the price...

Those are stunning, my favorite wheels now. A little too rich for my blood as I could only buy 2 of them for what I paid for the whole car LOL

Very nice and I think cheaper than the Fuchs if I read it right.

Edit: I read it wrong, they are more expensive!

Ja, the Magnus Walker wheels are pretty cool, or the Harvey Weidman wheels on the Singer 911, they look really nice, too.
..."the wheels maketh the car"... that has always been my design maxime, but to quote correctly, I give that one to Rob Dickinson

So in this case, not form follows function, but function follows form (emotions/looks > weight)
But Fuchs obviously did a great job to combine those. I could never put an ugly wheel for lightweight purposes on my car, even if it would be a track car. I would rather loose, but at least look good

I have 3 sets of these wheels left over from my BSX racing days. I may sell 1-2 sets to get them out of my yard. These OEM wheels are reasonably light and strong which is a good combination. The OZ wheels are also reasonably light and strong.

When chasing wheels for motorsport always insist on light AND strong. Some have just gone for lowest available weight and ended up with badly damaged cars when a wheel failed completely after contact with a race track gator. All of the spokes failed and the motor dragged across the track surface cracking the case. $25k later their car was as good as new (2009 Carrera S). Choose wisely.
