[QUOTE=Meat Head;352537]I finally found the set of wheels that I’ve been wanting for my 986! I’ve been looking for a set of these Cayman S wheels for quite some time and it was quite a chore to find them in my price range (ended up paying $850 shipped to my door). They came with a nice set of Michelin Sport Pilots (at least ¾ tread still on). I wanted something that looks stock but gave the car a more aggressive stance. This is also the first pics I’ve posted of my Boxster. I love the wheels!..........What do you guys think?

I think they look just grand but have a question. I thought that the '98 Boxster could not handle the larger wheels and until the suspension was re enforced in '99 it was not a good idea to mount the larger wheels & tires. Did you beef up the suspension in any way or are you still with stock set up? Anyone else want to correct me or agree on this info. as I may be misinformed here.

My car has stock suspension. I think that problem was fixed on the 98 cars. The 97s were the only ones that have issues with larger wheels. I could be wrong and would like to know if I'm misinformed.

I think you may be OK as it was the first year of the Boxster that needed support before a larger wheel could be fitted so you are probably in the clear. Wheels do look great.
