Thanks Fornowh & everyone for the various links, spoke to some of the vendors and seems like the closest I got to was a set of Victor Equipment 20" chromes costing $3500 including falken tyres but not shipping. Techarts and some others were way too expensive for a show wheel. I dont know why so many people like to make fun of a particular finish for the car but anyway, I guess thats the way with forums.

Anyway I have decided to delay the purchase for a while. WHen I bought this car it came along with these nice 19" 2pieces on 235/35 and 295/30 which flush out the guards nicely. And I want to test out the current setup's performance on the Track in July. If it works out I will keep the 19"s on track tyres and then purchase the new set of wheels.

Ive attached a pic, its the very first time I uploaded to this website, not very clear Im afraid, can no longer afford a DC. ahaha...gday...

19" are probably the biggest wheel that look good on a Boxster.

The larger the wheel, the worse your performance will be, and the more expensive the tires are.

Look at your choices in 18 and 19".

Your wisdom is keen indeed!
