"Sexy rolls" translation of what they say here about nice looking wheels (in Chinese lol)

Haven't forgot about you Rick, you'll know what I mean when you read this I'm sure

Luck with your project mate

Garage
Early 996's came with 265/35/18 tires & therefore 9" width wheels. I think 10" wheels were optional & became standard in 2002 along with their 285/30/18 tires.
2001 Turbo came standard with 11" rear wheels.

My Boxster S came from the factory with 7.5/ 50/18 and 9/ 52/18 as you expected. Does the rims in your post have a clearcoat over the outer lip or is it just polished?

Thanks for the info.

I stole that picture from a different post just so someone would know the wheels I was talking about, but the lip is polished only. Looks good, doesn't it?
