What do you think?
 
Played a bit in Photoshop, what do you guys think – 1 (orig), 2 (plastidipping rims) or 3 (silver mesh grill)?

Den Wagen seiht sehr geil aus, es braucht ja gar nichts.

The Radium King 03-09-2017 02:11 PM

try bronze. and some spacers on the back (look like 996 narrow body wheels).

Timco 03-09-2017 02:24 PM

Wheels should be silver.

Intakes should be open.

How about wheels colored to match the top?

a good way to try different colour wheels on your car ...

The color is a personal preference, I personally can't stand black wheels for the most part (albeit I did like the old BBS basketweave in black with the chrome lips)
Your problem is the size or offset, they look like little donuts tucked under the rear and no color will make up for that. You need to at least add some spacers if you are keeping those wheels to make it look decent.

You asked I say NO to black rims.

RedTele58 03-09-2017 05:45 PM

Keep the wheels silver. Add spacers to fill in the wheel wells. Keep the grille as factory.
You have a very classic color combination on a very nice looking factory stock car. There's very little you can do to improve on what you have. Changing wheel colors and grills aren't going to improve what you have. Just my opinion. You asked. :D

1 / original is my vote. Stunning looking Boxster by the way!

Lapister 03-09-2017 08:02 PM

My personal 2 cents on the 2 grill vents would be more open mesh like rain gutter plastic with bigger holes, not so fine. As for wheels Burnt Copper is in now.

Definitely leave the wheels silver. The silver and green go great together. ;)

Well, your message was loud and clear, thank you guys. It's very good to hear other opinions, since it can be hard to judge on what you see every day.
I guess I'll leave everything as it is and will get the information whether/how wide I can go with spacers on the back.

Great choice, spacers will make a huge difference on the look.
BTW, I was at the dealer the other day and black wheels are on nearly every car in every color, I still don't dig it. I have a black car with a black top and just painted my wheels a gun metal silver, I hope it looks good.

Myoung73 03-10-2017 06:09 AM

Yes, keep them silver!

ToddRu 03-10-2017 07:13 AM

I'm with everyone else (mostly) on the silver for the wheels :)

Before you get spacers, be sure to do any suspension mods you plan on (I'm dropping my car ~1" right now) - if you plan on doing any.

Have fun!

Sehr schöne Farbe!

Rainforest Green loves AMBER and (Ferrari :eek:) golden wheels.

Danke. Ja, es sieht so aus, dass es die einzige Farbe ist, die wirklich passt. Aber ich denke ich bleibe erstmal beim klassischen Look ;)

boxpriest 03-10-2017 11:05 AM

yep, it's already lowered :)

Factory is best
