New Wheels!!! - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I had them installed locally at Samaritan Tire. My neighbor owns the company so he gave me a good deal on the tires.

I expected the ride quality to deteriorate, but it didn't. I actually think it is improved a bit but this is more based on the change in tires. I had the standard Michelin Pilots on my original wheels and I put the PS2s on the new wheels. Seems like the PS2 has a softer ride with less road noise. So no noticeable deterioration in ride quality.

I'm very happy with the results, the 7mm spacers are great too. Little wider track but its a subtle change (the wheels are still inside the wheel wells).

Eslai, those are some sweet rims my friend.

I've been looking for something similar...but with a unicorn motif.

RONAL BEARS! I wonder how many sets of those have been sold in the history of... those.

They're closing them out now, and you can't have any, they're all mine. MINE.

(well, too bad they really only come in like 14x6 right now. Probably a 4-bolt pattern too. Alas....)

So doc...DO I see a lowered Boxster in Horizon?

It definately looks nice but I don't think I'm going to lower any time soon. My most likely next mod will be a new exhaust and even that is a ways out.
