I have little to no experience with wheel fitment on the Box, but I don't think I need to. Simple physics tells me that your car might work "perfect" in a straight line, but the moment you make any kind of turn at speed, that thing is riding on rim.

Just my $.02, but there's no way that thing is "perfect". I'm with Danger on this one.
Do you meaned me? If so, please take a look at the sizes, which i use. there are 18" rims and 3-piece custom made with forged center disk, so the wheels are very light.

I drive this rims since 2005 and more than 30thsd. miles without any issues... wether on german autobahn in highspeed or on the race track in Hockenheim, so you can believe it, when i say it works perfect... not easy to tell what, if you've never driven in such a car with.

of course, looks a beautiful 19 "wheel better but that does not mean that it also runs better with it. as I know, that victor wheel wheights are not the lightest, because we have a customers 993tt conversion so equipped.
