These are the ones you see on eBay "Fits Boxster Without Spacers." Buy it Now for $979+shipping. The quality appears pretty good. We'll see how they hold up. The center caps match but look cheapish, so I may replace those with my authentic caps (if they fit -haven't checked yet).

hi jeph, i am picking up the same wheels in the morning here in los angeles except i had mine chromed...who have you been dealing with carlos? how bad are the center caps? and did the wheels and tires fit without rubbing? thanks ..


p.s your car looks great

Wow, those are some wicked looking tires! They are more aggressive looking than the tires on my daily driving SUV.

rims are sweet! Those are the meanest looking tires I have ever seen...it looks like they might double as rally tires!

Those are my fav. Porsche wheels. I have a set on a 911 at present and love them.

Nice!

I got my Carrera 5 spokes from Ernie's Alloys in Miami for $1900. No center caps.
Jeph, Are those 9.5 in the back?

Jeph, when it thaws out up there in North Houston you should take it out and run your car up to 100+ and see if the car or steering wheel shakes anywhere along the speed range. I'd really like to know how well these rims and your new tires perform under a speed load.

BTW, I'd also like to know if you think the 18's provide a rougher ride than the 17's you had on there previously.
