The phony carbon fiber and sued is SILLY but I don't mind the rest. I've seen ones just like your decked out the same way...or worse.

I'm looking at a nice 3 spoke 986 wheel but it's got phony, shiny wood on it. I don't get who want to try to keep the car on the road on a hot day with sweaty palms on a wheel like that.

PK
Big Boxster = Carrera GT

It's the silver plastic all over the wheel and the big, round, highlighted airbag that I object to. The later 9x7 wheels have a smaller bag, but the hub is still a strange shape and there's too much "bling". The 9x6 wheels are soo much nicer looking.

There are only two negative things that I can say about the 2nd gen Boxster's styling. (1) The dash looks dumb when they remove the gauge cowl and (2) The sterring wheel is ugly.
