Anyone have experience with these rims?
 

They're obviously an SSR GT3 replica but, the price is about a grand less than SSR's. I just wonder if anyone has ran them on their Boxster? Good rims, bad rims, any input? I'm about to order rims and I really like the style and color.

In a perfect world I'd be running HRE 547R's but, after a recent quote, they're too rich for my blood.

Any downside to running 19's? I've heard it will effect the handling, is this true or just a wise tail? I know it will effect the ride but, I've already got 18's currently and it can't be that much worse if even noticeable at all.

19" tires will have about 1" of sidewall. not a lot of room to absorb impacts. Yes they will be more harsh. yes they could be harder to find a replacement in an emergency.

When it comes to the only parts of the car that touch the road, it seems worth it to pay for quality parts. While I have no experience with this brand/style of wheel, you would be wise to inspect the wheels frequently for cracks and loosening of the bolts. 2 and 3 piece wheels can be fragile in a street environment (potholes, curbs, driveways, freeway expansion joints).

FYI with those offsets you will have to use spacers as well,but spacers and that offset would look too wide in my opinion.

But, they are 3 piece "style" meaning they just have the bolts to look like a 3 piece rim.

With as crappy as the roads are here, I think I'll stick with 18's.

thanks for the input.

What is the correct offset on a Boxster? Those ebay auctions are so, vague. I was told I'd have to run a 5mm spacer.

What are some good wheel manufacturers that won't break the bank and have a bolt on rim. I'd rather not run spacers as I've run into problems in the past with other cars I've owned.
