it would be pretty cool if you chromed your wheels and got some chrome teeth as well. maybe with a porsche emblem embedded on one of the front two. That would bring hard core to another level.

you know what....chrome is nice, but not on a boxster.... im not saying that chrome looks bad on a boxster, because you could get a really really nice open rim in chrome with a deep dish and it will look nice no matter what. to chrome the stock rimz will just look cheap in my opinion.

You shouldn't even have to ask this question.

NO! NO! NO!...and NO!

There ought to be a law forbidding chrome wheels on Boxsters (or any Porsche for that matter).

no way in hell, paint them black and you will have a bad ass set of wheels.
same wheels in chrome will look like crap, and bring down the overall look and appeal of your car.

but then, at the end of the day, its your car, and you can enhance or make it worse any way you like.
