So far this is the 2 nd winter never been stuck anywhere, but I do know there are big limitations with heavy snow. My other set is with the Carrera light alloy 18" Michelins Pilot. I have to say yours looks equally nice.

Thanks. Yes, I had thought that as well. I look in the wheel wells and that ain't very much room! You get a slushy snow and it will build up and cause problems with steering as well.
Glad to know it does handle well in the snow! With just under 1k miles on it, I'm not really ready to take it out in the snow unless I had to!

Thanks for the pics, the wheels look great. Funny thing is, I was *just* looking at these on Tire Rack's site as a replacement for the wheels on my '02 S and wanted to see how they looked on a Boxster. Now I know.

For what it's worth, I believe the 'standard' colored center caps will fit these wheels as well, saving some muhla!
