Maybe just eBay 18's Carrera lightweight. Have to learn what offset sizes fit and work.

Turns out my current ones are base '04 wheels. They show them in the brochure.

I'd love to find these same ones in 18.
I have a set of aftermarket 18 inch five spoke Carrera "lights" with the correct offsets for Boxsters. Love the look. HATE THE WEIGHT. They're at least 5-8 lbs heavier than the factory rims.

Unless you're going with Porsche OEM rims, make sure you weigh your factory rims and tires and get an accurate weight on the new rims and tires you're thinking of buying... more unsprung weight at each corner of the car makes it slower off the line and it wears out the suspension parts a lot faster.
