I believe that the OEM silver trim rings were installed on the S models beginning with the introduction of the S in 2000. There were aftermarket trim rings available. I have a set on my car.
This thread has some information: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/65716-added-trim-rings-996-instrument-cluster.html
I also added a 996 gauge cluster like the person who started the thread. I think it makes the dash look more complete. (To me the stock 3-gauge 986 cluster looks like Porsche left something off.) I understand that many owners prefer to keep their cars stock, so that is a valid approach.
