thanks for suggestion

The important spec is "offset". That will let you know if you need spacers/adaptors to fit the wheels on cars other than your boxster.

@racer_d...you know what are the offset for the 99" Boxster?

This 968 was at the tech session at Don's AutoWerks in Campbell 2 weeks ago. I did not look to see if it had spacers.

Off hand I don't the offsets. It may (should?) be stamped on the rim itself. On my stock 18" wheels there is an offset stamping. My guess is its around a 50 or 52 mm offset. Mine is located right near the valve stem.
