Blue Boxster with white wheels and white trim
 

So this is more then a request then a show and tell..sorry to blue ball you guys. I just bought my Boxster and want to paint the wheels white and add the white Boxster decal/trim along the bottom of it. I was hoping someone had a picture of this done on their blue Porsche before I dove in and painted my wheels.

Thanks guys :cheers:

Would love to see that; I have the exact same car as you ! colorwise anyway.

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy the decals by the way?

I'd like to see your car photoshopped with white mirrors, wheels and the ===porsche=== strip along the sides. I bet that would look pretty cool.

Which one would you guys go for?

#2 is classic...though #8 could be really unique and kewl.

Before painting, ask yourself how much you like cleaning wheels, because white will get dirty/grimy super fast.

Obviously not a Boxster, however...

What color calipers would go well with that color combo? I'm thinking yellow, but yellow behind white wheels could look off

My car's the same color too. Personally, I would scrap the "white" idea. If you want it to look good, an upgrade larger wheel would be great (not white). But remember we are all just expressing personal opinions based on personal taste. It's your car.

I painted my grills low luster black. The silver paint just looked cheap to me. Looks much better this way. Also, painted bumperets look rich. I also painted the calipers red with 18" spoke wheels. Looks good to me.

Stick with two colors. Otherwise I think it'll look too busy and detract from the overall package. Go black.

Those Lobster Claws look good. :cheers:

I pulled the trigger on the combo. I'll post some better pics later

Looks good, but I'm looking forward to better pix. :cheers:

That came out really nice. How were the wheels done. Ya more pics for us to admire :)

Here's a couple more teasters that show the blue a little better. I'm adding white roll bars and white mirrors soon.

Nice vision and execution! I didn't think I would like it, but it looks terrific. Is that paint or powder on the wheels? Looking forward to seeing your future additions.

SO cool! Now paint the trunk badge white for a little more balance.

Ballsy. Didn't sound like a good idea, but must admit the end result is pretty special. Kudos.

not bad at all... agree ..paint the badge... remove all the ambers...from heads bumper reflectors and get rear leds... and should look even better...

I disagree. Leave the ambers in. Currently it has a period look. Trying to tart it up with clear lights won't help.

I disagree with your disagreement... too many colors... blue white amber... I'd make it cleaner... so white lights match the white decal and rims...

got the same overall look with a different color and ambers on my car would throw it off...

it's less a period look and more of a current spyder/new model look...

unless you make the porsche font on the decal larger like the older 911 912's

...then again that's just my opinion.

Very nice looking bro. I have been thinking of taking my porsche chrome wheels and going white like you have done with the white stripe. I first thought black but your WHITE outcome looks dang good. Nice job.

I used to love black wheels, its to common now though. Plus I get a lot of enjoyment out of how much the white bothers people.

I haven't made up my mind on the ambers yet, I'm thinking about going really retro with the headlights and having my machine shop make 356 style metal mesh covers for them. I love the retro race car look, that might be taking it to far though.

Cheers
