Been looking to P/U a set of speedline or Rook 18" used for a while. Gary in S FLA (GoGosFLA) has a set on his 986 and they look great!

anyone have any recommendations on some 0" lip monoblock style (10ish spokes) rims in an 18x10et 42 rear and a similar aggressive offset and width for the fronts?
love the gt3 rs look with the satin black rims but don't necessarily want gt3 knock offs

wow. the boxsters that are lowered with 18s for some reason just seem to have the best stance and the best proportions of sidewall height, wheel gap and the right offset makes a really big difference. i think its somewhere around 45 to 40mm in the rear. maybe 42.

now to find some monoblock 18s

I just picked my car up today

It came with 18" cayman wheels, and IMO i don't know that i'd want anything else on it!

Where did you get those and did you have the custom painted or ordered that way?
Thanks

18" Turbo wheels
Hancook tires
came with the car.

I'm upgrading wheels and tires very soon. I think I'm going to buy the 18" BSA 215, I wanted the SSR GT3's but tirerack no longer carries them.

Here is my black 04 S on SportTechnos. I cant see my car with another wheel on except those

Those have to be the best looking wheels I've seen on a Boxster! Are you at stock height?

fragdude · 07-30-2008, 04:52 PM

If you want a good way to do a quick clean on your rims, I use a duster (the reusable kind one would use in a house). Just dip it in the soapy water (after I'm done cleaning the rest of the car obvs) and attack the wheels. Doesn't take much longer than 2 min per wheel and gets them really clean. Plus since its a brush it can get in-between spokes easily

Thanks, I think they look great also. These are actually the sizes for the 996, but I threw them on and they fit and looked good to me. The fronts could use some small spacers, but the rears are flush. And, yes stock height. The car looked a tad goofy with the 19's at stock height until I added the skirts. That really pulled the car together.

I'm considering selling the car, if anyone is interested, I got a good deal on it so I'm not looking to sell it for much.
