Nothing fancy. !8" from a 993 wide body. 8" of rubber in the front and 10" in the rear, bolted right up with no spacers needed.

Sorry but you just can't beat 18' turbo twists.

Haven't put these on yet as the car is stored for winter, but can't wait to see these mounted.

I like the black top on the yellow car. I always thought if I got a hard top for my silver box I'd go with black.

Some very nice boxsters in here! I recently got wheels from a company on Amazon.com for a pretty good price and got somewhat of a deep look with chrome lip on the back and shallower up front also chrome lip. I was hesitant to do chrome but with tbethe wheel shape it reflects the black inner portion very well.

Kinesis K28 wheels. I had these installed at the dealership when I purchased the car new in 2001. Have always loved them but am considering having them powder-coated black and keeping the rims polished.....after 14 years, a new look might be good!

Thank you, I think they added alot to the car since its a darker color than most but still offers some contrast. The company I got them from was amazing, they had them out within 3 hours of ordering and this was after being screwed over by another company that didn't have the product they advertised. I ended up paying 799.00 with free shipping for the wheels, and same company offered the center caps for 40$. Standard center caps without porsche logo are free.
I think they were within a pound or two each compared to stock wheels. The tires might weigh a little more as well but its pretty negligible.
