Dont get me wrong I like the wheels. I just feel it looks wierd with the front bumper since my bumper is basicaly like stock with a bottom molded splitter, making it pointy. The wheels are solid looking and look better with a solid looking kit like the RUF kit or 993's, which have a boxy appearance. Im considering selling them now.

From one speed yellow owner to the other, get rid of those bowling balls, and get yourself a set of one piece forged Champion RS98's in black and turn your boxster into a "sexy beast" !

Brilliant minds think alike ! By the way, my boxster came through with the same wheels as yours.

I still think the 18in sport designs are really good looking for stock wheels. I like it better than alot of stock wheels out there.

one reason I went with the RUF is that I think it has a timeless design.

Hey Guys,

I have been selling wheels and tires for over 20 years and have run into "buyer's remorse" occasionally.

"U mount 'em, U own'em"

So be sure you have what you want before fitting tires.

Later,

Stay with what you have. The "Rufs" make your car looked "Pimped".
