I saw this on Ebay. Would this effect the performance or just ruin the look completely?

I like my stock wheels.......for now.

911 on Ebay

I never knew some controls on the 911 are so similar to the Boxster's (especially a 40th anniversary). The radio, CD storage and window controls are the same. Car looks pretty good......

Question Best fuel for Boxsters...not always 93?
