Where did you buy your aftermarket wheels from?
I can't get the wheels I was looking at in the width that I want. So I'm on the hunt for another set of wheels.
Where did you guys buy your aftermarket wheels from? Please provide a link. Thanks. |
Let's do like that, pick one style and I'll ship them to you in your size lol
Theresomewheelsforyou...... EDIT: removed the grabs (in respect to sellers overseas). You should have received those grabs/links in an email anyway (copy/paste that in your browser to review) |
Shows over.... grabs removed before someone quote. I could have really just sent those to you by PM.... failed ????!?!?!?!?!?!

Please, somebody. If you bought some aftermarket wheels for your Boxster, where did you buy them from?
|
Few questions you want to ask yourself first
- For the look only (e.g. cast wheels from ebay) - For the look + performance (e.g. forged, ADV, OZ, Champion, etc) - Concave style or wide with a lip - Meshed style, spoked style - Custom made (colors, anodized, stamped, 1pc, 2 pcs wheels, etc) So... What are you and your boxster into? and... What is your budget for a set of wheels? if I may ask Once you put down those I'm sure a few here will be able to give you a hand with your search. |

For the right wheels I'd be willing to put some money at them. I've done several search types on Google and I get the same wheels. Google is becoming useless. I want 8.5x19" front and 10 or 10.5x19" rear wheels. I want them to be black, but if I have to go get them powder coated I can do that to if I truly love the set. All my searching I've come down to a pair on eBay. Right size, offset just about right, but the wheels just are not grabbing me. 19"x8 5" 10" 5x130 ET50 42 Matte Black Machined Face Staggered Wheels Rims | eBay http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFgxMD...UWCTr/$_57.JPG I'd have to get these powder coated to all black, but I don't like how the spokes flare out from the center (the V shape). Even though this set has the V style to them they are not as pronounced and the spokes are curved, which I like, but I the seller only has the rears in 9.5 and 11" wheels. 19" Black Carrera Style Wheels Fits Porsche 986 987 Cayman Boxster Coupe s Rims | eBay http://www.oemwheelsplus.com/ebay/wh...911-MBMF-2.jpg http://www.oemwheelsplus.com/ebay/wh...911-MBMF-3.jpg |
This is a style I really like. Two spokes next to each other going straight out to the wheel. Leaves lots of room to view the sweet brake calipers and rotors on the Boxster S.

I just ran across these.
19 inch Black Mesh Wheels Rims Fit Porsche Cayman 911 Carrera Boxster | eBay http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA...UkVe2/$_12.JPG My car originally came with the Carrera Light wheels, but when I bought the car those wheels were off the car. Looking at this post here. http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-parts-sale-wanted/54450-fs-porsche-boxster-18-carrera-light-ps2.html The size and offset of the Carrera Light wheels are. Fronts are 18 x 7.5 ET50 Rears are 18 x 9 ET52 The size and offset of the new wheels are. Fronts are 19 x 8.5 ET42 Rears are 19 x 10 ET42 So I would run a 5mm spacer on the front and 3mm spacer on the rear? Front http://i60.tinypic.com/4hcwtc.jpg Rear http://i58.tinypic.com/2nhqq9i.jpg Does this sound right? EDIT: I'm going to run 235/35R19 on the front and 275/30R19 on the rear. May need to up the spacer size with these tires? http://i57.tinypic.com/34f1v0h.jpg |
No advise on the particular wheels, but I often check eBay and Amazon for purchases like that. Often the same vendor sells on both, but may have a promotion or discount on one and not the other.

If you ask me, the 9.5 is what you want, I wouldn't go wider than that for a cast wheel. In the 19" sizes anyway. Might be different for the 18" dunno |
