Have you ever seen a Boxster with 20" spinners

Hah! I wondered when the donk pics would show up.

(Donks, for those of you who were until this moment blissfully unaware, are cars with stupidly huge wheels)

Incidentally, as further evidence that fools and money are not meant to be together, there are businesses that rent wheels to people who want to make their cars look stupid - because obviously they can't be expected to save $4K to buy 25" chrome wheels.

Oh, to answer the original poster's question - running 20's on a Boxster would almost certainly have a negative impact on performance. Presumably they weigh more than the stock wheels, adding more unsprung weight that the Boxster's suspension isn't designed to handle.

I personally can't fathom why anyone would want to raise the center of gravity on a car like a Boxster.

Finally, larger wheels increase rotational inertia - even in the unlikely event that the 20" wheel weighs the same as a 17" wheel, moving some of the mass farther from the axis of rotation will require more energy for acceleration and braking.

One question... WHY?
