Would prefer 35 profile i think on the rears......

I wouldn't change the aspect ratio on the rears - stick with 30's . However, I would recommend going with 275's instead of 265's . IMO it strikes a better balance with 235's up front.

Hi Pete,
Where abouts in Essex are you - I've been following this thread with baited breath, can't wait to see the outcome. Not sure how you function on so little sleep. You post are funny though. At least you have Johnny D on the case - can't go wrong there:)

Hi I am in Colchester.....Where are you?

Yes, so today have ordered the 19s up from Rimstyle UK.. Gonna be around 7-10 days
Have told the buyer of mine , and he is patient..so all working out fine,,

Just as well...was getting bloody fed up looking at wheels ! Lol

Gonna look cool..esp once my new GT3 front and skirts are fitted ..Will start a new thread soon...once i have had a lay in a dark room for a cpl of days to relax my brain..!

Thanks for all yr help again guys and especially Johnny (man love rules!*!)

Will post a cpl of pics once fitted....

I may change my mind and go for a set of these...what do you think
Will look nice on the Boxster...!!

I wonder if they do them in 19s...

I could just see them on the Danger Mobile too......will ask them if they will do bulk buy discount..?

I already have a set thanks !

Yeah, and I have the photo:

I love it !!!!!!!!!!! Sonny would be proud !

Good Luck Pete. i'll look forward to the pictures. I'm in Brentwood.

That made me chuckle ...!!!! Brill..

Have had a good offer on the Carerra LWs and a chap is coming up Friday
so will all work out in the end..

He has a 1999 Carrera 2 - 3.4 996 narrow body so hopefully the 18s will fit straight on.
If anybody knows ?? 18" 50ET front and 65ET rear

They should fit fine . That's what they designed for.

By the way, once you get your new wheels on and everything is dialed in just right, I suggest moving your steering over to the left side where it belongs. The driving experince is much better that way ! :)

Next you will be telling him to speak/write Americaaain...
If you go to the UK you might be considered "brill"!
In addition this thread is "well sorted".
Internet dictionary needed - just hover your cursor over the appropriate word for translation. Right LOL:):)

Well two of the wheels have turned up today..so have given them a coat of Rimwax before i fit them on...Look good...although i am suprised or not? they are made in China !
The other two are on their way and should be here tomorrow. Gonna hunt down some black Porsche wheel caps now instead of painting mine up..

also purchased some new discs, Red Stuff pads and a Goodridge Brakeline set... so a busy weekend with the wheels off and the spanners out...Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

cor blimey guvnor !!!!!!!!! i am going up the apple and pears now to clean my Hampstead Heath....Lol :p

Pete,

I didn't understand a thing you wrote, but the wheels look great !

I am going to have to teach you a bit of `Cockney Rhyming Slang` Johnny!

Apple and Pears; Stairs
Hampstead Heath; Teeth

Horse and Cart; .....

Go Go Gophers -- What Did He Say? - YouTube

Slang... What would we do without it?

Like dude I got trashed the other night just chillin with this sweet hooker that was all juiced-up, for real, as soon as she said her ex was busted for pushing weed and is now in the slammer, and that he knocked her up, I bailed faster than a New York minute.

Are you getting gangsta on us ?

Yo, Yo, Yo, what up Biatch!

I've been contemplating purchasing these for a while. I finally pulled the trigger yesterday. Can't wait to get them (and see how they look on Pete's ride).
If anybody liked the Zehn's I found that the cheapest place to get them right now is Discount tire direct.

They have a coupon for 70 bucks off all Victor Equipment until March 31st, as well as free shipping. It is $1050 for the set (18 inch). I also ended up trying out the Hankook V12's, which received a free mounting and balancing job.

Cool...Gonna look awesome on the Boxster...Should also fill the arches up nicely
Doing away with the Victor centre badges and have just bought some nice black Porsche centres..
Waiting for a fine day to get outside..weather in UK has turned crap again !!
Going to do a disc change, along with pads, stainless lines and brake fluid change to Ate blue while the wheels are off..
Oh and also ordered up some black chrome wheel nut caps to complete the look

Will keep you posted.....Tyres are Falken F453s
