I like the wheels. Reminds me of the 996 GT3 wheels which are one of my favorite Porsche Wheels

I like them a lot on the Cayman actually.....I thought the same thnig about cleaning them tho....I might be biased since I just scrubbed my rims 20 minutes ago at the car wash and didn't get them as clean as I would like 
is the boxster picture a photo shop? looks a little weird, I think they look good on the cayman since it looks a little more agressive than a box

Personally, I prefer black rims on a white Boxster, but those look nice too.

Agree with the cleaning issue. It will look great once. (on the way home from dealership)
Black would be a good tradeoff and look distinctive and much more practical.

color-matching rims reminds me of the way kawasaki color-matched the rims on their 1995 purple ninja 600/900 bikes. i think it looks cheap.

Oh man, I hadn't even thought about the cleaning issue! That alone would steer me away.

I like them! I think the white rims on a white car look great. I really don't like black rims, you can't even see them, just blend into the tires/road.
You can get the Champion wheels in white as well. I like these better than the Porsche ones.

Drburton, the silver trim in the wheels from your pic kicks the bling-bling up a notch.

I agree....I like that chrome dish or whatever the kids call it nowadays......but yeah, black rims on a white car 
I have contemplated the chrome 19" classics but I'm not sure think looks right on the white car either....not as bad as a black rim tho.....

I agree with Porsche98Spyder, looks like plastic. Nice white car, though.

Love it! I am a big fan of the monochrome "look"
Saw a white monochrome R107 Merc recently, it was as the designer's intended with the small bumpers and original square headlights. Also had the AMG body kit.
If someone had suggested that "look" for my 107 I would think they were nuts!
It actually looked really good, very different to be sure. But I liked it.
I had a 93 Taurus SHO, it was white with white wheels. The look was just OK, actually too monochrome. I put a black bra on it which was a big improvement IMHO.
The white wheels were actually easy to keep clean. No more difficult than any other wheels I have owned. Powder coat is great, sure beats plain alloy.

i have a white 986 and have these rims:
http://www.rh-wheels.com/index.cfm?P=wheels_detail&PID=84680
i'm gonna powdercoat them black with polished lip... will post pics when i get it done, hopefully within the week.
white on white rims.. ehhhh nah. i saw a z4 like that the other day and it just felt the car was downgraded. as for black rims with polished lip, i think it looks good on exotics and tires that aren't too thick. and hell, if versace and lamborghini ( http://www.hypebeast.com/2006/11/lamborghini-x-versace-murcielago/) say its a good combo, i believe them
