JD,

Do you know if the wheels in the pic are 19's, or larger? I like the look of the Techart wheel, and 19's on Boxsters. My only dislike in the above picture is the brakes look minuscule compared to the wheels (partly due to this particular Boxster being a base model with smaller brakes?). When it comes down to nothing but aesthetics, for me an open wheel looks best when the rotors and calipers look as if they are just small enough to fit without clearance issues. Modern Ferraris pull off the look very well.

is it a base model? it has drilled rotors, which are standard on S not base. but the muffler tip looks base, not S.

You can just buy the cross drilled rotors, lots of base cars have them. It's a base because it doesn't have the red calipers.

Good eye. I can't see any red on the calipers. Maybe it is just the angle. But if they are black that would point to a base too.

Aesthetically you're right, but at least we know that even the base brakes, small as they may look here, work great as is.

No doubt! You are correct, sir.

Danger - is this the same wheel? It's in the front of the car for sure. I also saw some pics of this in black on a Panamera.

Try again, image didn't make it up. Guess I'll just post the link:
