Very nice upgrade. I never really liked the 17" stock Boxster wheels.

They make your boxster look two or three years younger instantly!
Are they factory or aftermarket?

the classic Porsche wheel, I think maybe the nicest wheel from a factory design.
The BMW shadow wheels are a close second but lose out on ease of cleaning.
p.s.
what is the significance of your signature?

Those look awesome. I'm looking to do the same thing. Anyone know a good place to buy them in the US? Is there a specific name for this style of wheel?

Nicely done!

...And Love is the only thing that counts in the next life too. The rest you can leave
behind. All that you fashion, all that you make, all that you build and all that you break. You’ve got to leave it behind. But Love, it’s -the only baggage you can bring. It’s all that you can’t leave behind...

Agree with Randall, car looks newer/updated. I wish we had the bumperette-less bumpers over here.

now all you gotta do is move your steering wheel to the right side.
for some reason, i dont like those wheels at ALL, but they do look better than the ones you had before, nice upgrade
