18 inch wheels
 
So in my search for wheels, I'm finding on Ebay, many sets of those "lite" or "Carerra Lite OEM" sets for about $1000.
Does this seem reasonable?

CHRISP357 08-16-2015 03:20 PM

Never mind. Found a great deal from a Rennlist member and bought them.

As soon as they get here! I'll try to get them on this weekend.

Wow, I like those

JayG 08-19-2015 08:40 PM

cool duallys on a Boxster

CHRISP357 08-19-2015 08:51 PM

Can't wait to get them on. Cheap tires but virtually new so I'll finish this season on them. Quite happy thus far!

IMHO, those are the best looking wheels going. The 2004 SE two tone ones are even better!

Beautiful!
I'm anxious to see what they look like on your car. :)

I have the same wheels
They are the best!

CHRISP357 08-20-2015 10:38 AM

Hopefully the colored crest caps off my turbo twists will fit. In other news, I'm definitely going to have to paint my pinkish calipers now. Maybe I'll run them until hibernation time.

I have the aftermarket ones from eBay... they're HEAVY. Lite my arse!

They're also not forged like genuine Porsche wheels and you need to avoid using them on a track or for autocross.

Are these knock offs or genuine carrera Lites that you bought? We can tell if you post a picture of the read wheel.

JayG 08-20-2015 02:12 PM

the center caps should be the same

jacabean 08-20-2015 02:49 PM

you guys need to get away from stock wheels . I picked these up last year and painted the rim arctic silver and the centers seal gray .

Need to? I think not! We need to have what we like, and I like my Carrera Lites :p!

Also, I bet mine are easier to clean :dance:!
