I, too, am looking at the deal of the century on a set of 18 inch Carrera 5-spokes off of a 2002 996. 18x8 fronts and 18x10 rears. I REALLY need to know if someone has fit these on a 2003 Boxster S or equivalent with success before I bite off the dollars. The part number for the set of 4 appears to be 000 044 600 34.
I appreciate any responses but actual experience would make me more confident.
I passed on the 996 Carrear 5 spokes. The 10" rears require the spacers to clear the brake Calipers and Porsche does not recommend the use of spacers. Certainly not if you Boxster is still under warranty.
My local Porsche Club guy said Boxsters with spacers are only for street use and should not be taken on the track.
Stick with the 9" rears.

wheelenhancement.com offered me $350 trade in for my 2000 boxster S wheels.
They were offering a new set for $2300.
Seems like the going rate for 2nd hand Carrera 5 spokes is around $1500-$1800
$400 per wheel is not cheap for used equipment.
