I like the idea, But instead of a thick yellow lip... We do a nice 1/8th" thick yellow pin stripe and it looks great and aggressive.

IMO I would not.
I appreciate yellow cars but I do not see myself ever owning one, so perhaps if you are the kind of person that can own a yellow car you are inclined to like the wheels painted that way, I'm not so I wouldn't know
That is by no means a slam, just an observation.  Do what feels good, it's only paint.

I'm with CJ,I think black wheel with1/8th pin stripe would look sweet the full lip painted looks too "clunky"

I would leave as is. There so much more your can do to your car and make it look even more sportier.
1. Clear Tail Light 03' - $175
2. Clear Side Marker Light - $25
3. Paint the bumperettes - $50
4. Boxster Aerokit II Side Skirts - $700

I love the black wheels with yellow pin stripe,Did you ps the hardtop,mirrors and windscreen surround in black too?Gives your car a strong look.

Nooooooooooo
Just another opinion from the peanut gallery. I've always loved the classic black Fuchs wheels, but I think on your yellow box you should stay with what you got.

I ps'd the windshield surround and mirrors. I picked up a black hardtop and decided to keep it that way and save the money from not painting it for other mods...
