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? |
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
|
cool duallys on a Boxster
|
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! |
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.
|
Deleted!!!!
|
the center caps should be the same
|
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 .

Also, I bet mine are easier to clean :dance:! |
Those look nice, I just prefer these stock lites. I also like the fact that I won't see them on a Honda with a coffee can for a muffler. These are just classy looking wheels.
|
2004 "50 years of 550 Spyder" edition wheels:
|
Yeah, like that!
|
Carrera lites are a nice choice but they are not BBS LMs and trust me you will not see these on any honda . IF you search and are patient you can find some great deals on older premium wheels .
|
When I want a little bling , i'll throw on my 19's

Don't know if this means real or knock off but they're 2 lbs lighter than my turbo twists. Although the difference could be tires.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1440128017.jpg

Those are real!:cheers: The Borbet on the inner flange is the Boxster version and should be marked 7.5 50 at the valve stem. The ones that are marked BBS on the inner flange are 8.0 and were for the 996. Same wheels as I have. I really like them. In fact I have a wheel cut down and made into a wall clock!
