These are exactly the wheels that came to mind when you painted your previous wheels black. The center caps came out perfectly.
I might have gone with metallic gun metal or metallic silver calipers to compliment your rare metallic jade green paint, but yellow serves up a nice contrast too.
p.s.
I think you need a new font for your photog signature.
The caligraphy style lettering looks weird on sports car pics.

Cool pics. I like the way the yellow calipers reflect a huge yellow image on the polished wheel lip.

Those wheels totally make that body color sing DJ...
....worth whatever you threw down for them.
...and that is best of your sigs. Nice work.
I have intended to change my sig a million times and I just don't make the time to take any pics of it...my current sig pic was taken the first few days of ownership before the side and rear lights were deambered...
Some day I'll get aournd to it.

I think they suit your car pretty good, but as far as authentic Posche-design and style goes this is a completely opposite direction of all that they stand for and even though it actually looks quite OK, it's still a bit too 'pimped out Subaru' to my liking.

WOW, $295 for a set and caps. Just imagine the bare cheap cost of manufacturing these wheels. These wheels are usually on the heavier side( +/- 30lbs each), and the added weight of the spacers. Goodluck if you auto-x.

actually these are very similar in design to the original 1993 Boxster concept wheels, almost identical really...

I love your new wheels DJ. Are those 18s or 19s? I to just bought some new rims. I will be getting them back today from being powder coated to match my car. They will be Metallic Seal Grey. This is what they will look like. Very similar to yours. I to like the 5 spoke design.
