Sounds highly excessive to me. I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing about anything bigger than say 19". It's not a Bentley...

I don't think you can fit anything that big on a Boxster. And if it will be a daily driver I would not go any bigger than 18" or the ride will not be very comfortable.

Since your only 17...we'll let you slide with this comment

Boxster are not designed to put any blings on it to get attention or turning it into "scraper, scraper"! Just the car alone at your age will for sure grab some attention.

And also, you must be really rich to say that, "you're only looking for something to ride with" at your age coz' maintanance alone is a pain in the *** for me coz' I don't know crap about maintenance but learning slowly though

but, congrats on your first ride. Be safe!

Don't forget the issues of unsprung weight if you decide to go to 20-22 inch rims.

That silver BMW looks stupid!

Yeah, that BMW is terrible. I was going to mention that...

If I were going to just cruise, I'd get a 63 Impala with 24's... and a step ladder to get in it...
