Do these wheels look good on my car?
Hello guys so I bought these replica RUF wheels and they should be arriving soon but now I keep thinking it wont go good with my car, especialy with my more point Gemballa front bumper. I feel like it looks great on 993's, 996TT, and RUF boxsters because they have a boxy edgy front end and less rounded appearance. I photoshopped the wheels on my car in the attached pic. let me know what you think. keep in mind the color may be off a bit. I also attached a pic of it on a RUF 3600s, but again notice that the RUF kit makes the car look less rounded and more straight and edgy.
I have also attached a link of my car with its current wheels.

Looks better with your current wheels.
The RUF wheels are nice, but I suspect they are 19's. I personally think 19's are too big for the 986. 18's look better.

I personally have never been to crazy about the RUF wheels. Pretty boring looking especially in silver. And I agree with Demick, those 19's overpower the look of the car and are too big imo.

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" !

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".
