White Boxster Posse...what do you think?
 

I saw these pics on another board, and I must sheepishly admit to liking the look quite a bit. It also helps that the Sport Design wheels are my favorite from Porsche's lackluster rim collection.

The configurator pic also shows a cool new feature, where you can see your creation against a "daylight" or "twilight" background.

Dbth, Super66, Ricklin, Bmuss and everyone else, what do y'all think?

Stunning in every way

Hm, I liked the first two pics, but don't like the third picture. Not sure if it's because the top is down, or if it's because it's a whole car shot.

Never been a fan of white rims. They look like plastic. I can only imagine how hard they are to keep clean. :cool:

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 :D

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.

Me likey !

I agree....I like that chrome dish or whatever the kids call it nowadays......but yeah, black rims on a white car :barf:

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.....

Those white rims with the chrome/polished lip look much better then solid white. :cheers:

I don't know about that. I like silver and black. Check out this Gamballa white boxster with black rims. Whatever you do, make sure it has a chrome/plished lip and it will look much better than a solid color.

That's the car I had in mind...

SD987, good post. That car looks great. I am surprised I like the paintedwheels. Too hard to keep clean though.

Now, come on white Boxster owners, post a pic of your ride:

if colored wheels are properly powder coated, they should be fairly easy to clean

Obviously I'm a fan of the white car/dark wheel combo. I really like the contrast between the two colors. For that reason I'm not crazy about the white car/white wheel setup.

I wonder if black w/ black wheels would look good.

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:

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 :)

that lambo is smokin!!! I can't do the all black wheel....like that one less than the all white.....but the lambo and the box on this thread with the black and chrome actually look really good

black/black looks great, and so does white/white as well....

i for some reason like black on black with a red pinstripe on the edge of the wheels with red calipers

Sport Classic II center's black with chrome
 

Before and After!

Those look awsome! Is your car lowered? Any wheel spacers? :cheers:
