IMO, keep your current wheels unless you're going to change them to a larger wheel. Those sport classics might look a lil better, but are harder to keep clean. I'd instead use the money on upgrading the exhaust. The base car's single tip exhaust is one of the ugliest things on the Boxster.

I like the stock wheels. Keep it original. But then I like the orange lenses also.

I had a set on my first Porsche - an 01 Boxster S. They look great but get dirty in a hurry and are a pain in the a$$ to clean.

Thanks all for the feedback! Think I'm just going to stick with the stock wheels and get a good set of tires.

I like both, so I keep a car with each. Don't want an extra car? Then go ahead and get the extra wheels.



I do want to get some spacers for my sport classics though. Thinking of 15mm rear, 7mm front to put them at the edge of the fender.

Dammit, that looks good! Like you say, maybe just keep both.
