honestly, I think it's overkill for a boxster. when you factor in that many used 986's are worth $15k or so - you're talking about spending almost 50% of the cars full value just for wheels...

many of the OEM style wheels look GREAT on the boxster - and you can find them for a FRACTION of what you would pay for HREs.

I agree with you on the value proposition to be awful, however, I have no children and you spend a long time in the Box and I am not talking vehicle. If a day comes when money flows as it once did, who knows? I can always dream of a wreck, in fact I saw a used set on a 996 online, no price of course.
