18" Carrera Wheel Pics

I know, if you have seen one silver Boxster, you have seen them all. But, this is my silver Boxster and I think the wheels look sweet.....

Ed, I really like your wheels. Wish I got my Box with the Carrera 19s. Is it me or does anybody else think that Ed's wheels should be wearing wider tires?

Wider Tires

Z12358, ouch that hurts about getting wider tires, thats just what I am thinking I need, wider and flatter. I am sure the Falken tires I got with the rims are good in the rain, and they do give a nice quiet, smooth ride, but they are skinny and they are squisshy on the curves. My old 17" Michillins got me spoiled, much better handling, they were rock stable on corners and they are even a little wider than the 18" Falkens.

Tire Size?

Ed,

What size are your front and rear tires?

I'm just about to buy a set of 18" tires & wheels.
