Jaay!

you are my twin brother from another mother!

The wheels on black Boxster look awesome!
One thing I really like about these wheels is that they
give the car a more sophisticated/expensive/high quality look
with the polished rims and spoke design.... I had a friend
drive my boxster and I followed him in my other car so
I could see how the wheels fit and look rolling down the freeway..
I was smiling ear to ear, the wheels really look great while in
motion too. I hope you are happy with them, I know I am...
If you do try spacers on the fronts, let me know if you can get
around the vibration issues I experienced... I would be curious to know if you have
the same issues.

btw... Hey "ddb" nice to see you here too!

18" Turbo's on mine. Sand the lugs real good then use Rustloem primer or white paint, the paint them silver with caliper paint. If you can, bake them in the over on 300 for about an hour. Cures the paint.
