IMO, they look plain because of the plain wheel centercaps. If he buys the painted colored crests, it will dress the rims up nicely.

Edevlin...any other pics at different angles? thanks.......

Carrera wheels are a much better look, and they will probably be easier to clean. The turbo wheel seems a bit more retro since you rarely see then on the newer models - I know the carrera's are also an old style but are frequently still purchased on new vehicles.

Here are a few other views:

NickCats..thanks for the link...great website...dealers in the UK are not so straight forward. :ah:

thanks Edevlin.....Im swaying towards the carrera 18..unless anyone has good pix of a silver Box with Turbo's?

I have been offered a set of replica carreras 18" with tyres for £900, and they will trade in my old Boxster S 17" for £200 (net £700)...seems like quite a good deal...

The Carreras are considerably lighter than the Turbos at 18". Something to consider. I dropped 100 pounds by picking these wheels and my GT3 seats.
The Braile battery should save another 50 pounds. That's like dropping an extra passenger for me.

The Carreras are also very sought after not just by 911 and Boxster folk but 928 as well. when you sell your car put the 17" stockers back on and you'll have no problem selling the 18" if they're good condition.

I think the silver caps give a nice subtle look

Ditto! Mine looked drab until I put some nice colored centercaps on them... and the red calipers help a lot too. Breaks up the color behind the wheel nicely.
