Same wheels as mine I just painted the center semi flat black. I bought mine from that guy also.

Same Jaz Hero rims that other members have posted, but I've yet to see it in black, so here's mine. Just put her on about 2 weeks ago with 275 in the rear, but the tires was stretched so I think I could have seriously gone to 295. Thats huge on the lil ol Boxster.

Here is my 2000 zenith Blue base with 18" Cayman Rims

gkitepowell 05-28-2009 06:41 AM

18's vs 19's
 
My 986 on 18" turbo twists---8.5 upfront 10" in back on Michelin pilots

now on upgraded, 19" carrera's- 8" w/ 57mm offset up front and 9.5"w/ 46mm offset in back, Would have preferred that extra half inch but got a deal on these

kitchenman:

Those wheels look better on our 986 than on the cayman! :cool:

kitchenman 05-28-2009 12:30 PM

Thanks I was between the Carrera S Wheel but at $565 delivered from Wheels & Caps the Cayman the price diffence was enough to put a big dent in the cost of litronics.

Reworked OEM 17"s... :cheers:

Does anyone have pictures of 18" 5 spoke Carrera lights on a 987? I love those wheel on the 986, and thought they might be a good substitute for the 19" 5 spokes on the newer cars.
Thanks,
Steve

I must admit this style of design in wheels have always intrigued me and If I ever opt for a new set it will be along these lines. Are these by chance RPK's? Beautiful nonetheless!

yoyo7 10-04-2009 07:29 PM

Yes they are RPK's...

rpm-tuningsolutions 10-06-2009 09:16 AM

Would these fit

8.5"x19" et47

11''x19'' et52

?

Thumper 10-06-2009 09:24 AM

The 11" are going to be too wide.

My Ride on 19's

I looked through the thread and was surprised to see nobody with these wheels - they came on my '03 (as an option), and I just picked up a second identical set from a member here for $500 - including two like-new BFG G-Force Sport rear tires.

The BFG's will be my street tires (I just got new fronts mounted this AM), and once I wear out my Yoko's, I'll pick up some better track tires. Life's good!

This pic is of one of the new set of wheels with a new BFG.

^That's a hell of a lot of lead on the wheel!

sd_boxster 10-10-2009 01:48 PM

Yes, I think I got their entire collection of tape weights. I've got a hundred-mile drive to do tonight, so I may be returning for another balance if things don't feel right.

The wheel is in good shape and looks true - I wonder if BFG just made a sh** tire.
