Not overly fond of black wheels as I think they hide the shape of the rim/spokes so you end up with 4 black holes, at least in my opinion. I know that race cars favor black, perhaps the brake dust won't show as much? I do need to get them refurbished as they came with some rash and a slight bend in one rim that doesn't affect air retention. These wheels are the Boxster specific 17" jobs that are complex enough to be interesting. Ride is nice with them as long as the pavement isn't too seamy. Thanks for the comments to all so far.

nice and clean-not overdone. I love the wheels- they're muscular and Porsche! The only thing I would suggest is lowering it an inch. I've just decided I need '03-04 vents!

Have been considering the 1/2" drop from the MO3O ROW set but haven't wanted to spring for the bucks right now as my suspension is still sound.
Vents can be had from some of the parts dismantlers.
