They look great. What are the actual size of the wheels with offset? Are you using spacers?

Thanks

The turbo twisties are just hideous looking, I have always thought the twisties are a bad choice for any car, of any era. The new ones are so much better looking it isn't even worth discussing.

The Boxster Carrera Light wheels don't require spacers. If you used the 996 ones I am sure you would have to use spacers. I have heard of it be done. However, they do protrude out of the wheel wells IIRC.

On mine the numbers stamped on the wheels by the stems are; Fronts - 7.5/50 - Rears 9/52.

My fronts are 8/57 and the rears are 10/58.

They're off a 2006 997.
