Errr it dont work!!

Had a good wash and clean up with the wheels and came up a treat...Just shows what a bit of elbow grease can do...

In with the jack and up in the air...off with the rear wheels...and thats about as far as it got!!
Thought i would size up and see what i am up against...Managed to hold the wheel in situ, just about...but just does not look right..!

With a 15-20mm spacer needed the wheels are just gonna sit out too far..
Not a good look me thinks.!!!!
That darn ET65 is just toooooooooo big for a Boxster with 10" rims

So bit of a waste of a journey...but a learning curve methinks.. Didnt like the look of the 30 profile rubber on the rears too..

So going to stick with 40 profile tyres front and rear.....Sick of looking at wheels now??
Have sold my originals so dont want to hold the buyer up too long.

Have decided to go for the OZ Alleggerita HLT Titanuim Tech
Fronts
8J with 235/40 18 ET50

rears
10J with 265/40 18 ET40

Bit more money than i wanted to spend..but should make a few bucks on the sale of
the Lightweights hopefully.. Thinking of looking around 1400$ in your currency..
The Pirelli Tyres are virtualy brand new too

Has anyone got the Oz wheels fitted ?? Should look nice on an Artic Silver Boxster
