Very nice!
 
Midnight Blue?

Great shot!
 
I especially like those wheels. Are they 18"s?

nez 04-07-2003 02:49 PM

yeah..midnight blue. Those wheels are standard boxster S 17". The 18s were another 3500 K :( Maybe a bit later in the future when I feel like a new look. :D

Actually I really love those wheels too. When these new styles came out I liked the new super-thin 5 spoke 18" the best, but seeing a bunch of pictures of these 10 spoke wheels on Boxsters I am really impressed.

Besides, I really appreciate the extra sidewall of 17" with the terrible roads here in New England.

Lousy roads and lousy weather!
 
Charlie, you are absolutely right about the better ride with the 17" wheels, and you might be surprised to hear that the 16" are even better. As you know, I mount 16" boxster wheels with snow tires for the 6 months of winter here (it is snowing again today). The ride is very nice. So bigger isn't necessarily better. Still on for the Autofanatics event this Saturday? TTYL

The 16" sound great for the winter and reassuring on the bumps. True story--I was trying to get them originally on my Boxster order, but Porsche wouldn't let me because I wanted the sport package. I wanted to buy 18" aftermarket for summer and 16" for the winter. The 17" are a good compromise, though.

Yes, we're on for AutoFanatics...make sure you check my post with the directions on it.
