Thanks for the info PerfectLap! Do you have the replica 5-spokes on your Boxster? Do you have a recommendation on where to purchase these...also how much to they cost?

Unfortunately I do have the 17 stock wheels on the car now. I actually liked the look better than the 2003 stock 18" wheels. But if they are gonna look like 16" after the mod, I will probably have to go with the 5-spoke Carerra.

IMHO the 5 spokes look the best for a boxster......they open up the brakes to view too. Plus they are lt wt.

I was considering the cayman S 5 spokes on my box as well. Has anybody put those on a box yet? Those look smashing....reminds me of old hot wheels...

I just picked up an '07 987S, atlas gray, sand, black top, xenons and Cayman S 18" wheels. Very solid appearance, spokes were easy to clean today in 70 degree weather. Will post pictures this week.

RADDOC,
Welcome... I used to work right near Ambler off of Militia Hill Rd.
Ambler is a nice town... I miss that little Chinese joint and the pub at the corner
of Butler pike and Skippack.

Do yourself a favor and take a drive down Rt 23 from Gladwyne to City line..
Great top down drive... and they just repaved not too long ago.

Best of luck!

No I have the factory 5 spokes which are 21 pounds each, Ernies Alloys in Miami think I paid $1900. The replicas are sold in this auction onEbay I think Jeph and RandallNeighbohr said they are from a seller called wheel dynamics. About half the cost. I think they weigh a little more than factory. I was considereing picking up a set just for winter use for my winter tires and then keeping my factory set for the summer tires when I atuocross/track. But winter has taken the year off.

I thought I was gonna stop putting money into Porsches when I sold my 914. I think I have some sorta Porsche-disease. I just got my wife warmed up to the GT-3 makeover.

How in the world will I convince her that I need a $1000 wheel upgrade?? Perhaps I need to start a "tips for convincing the wife" thread.

well you can sell your stock wheels on Ebay to a 911 993 owner. I know the 17" Boxster wheels are popular with those guys. You might be able to get $400 if the stock wheels are in good shape so it would only be a $600 expense.

I can sympathize, I did a bunch of work to my old car and sold it only a few months after it was official 'done'. Some rabid car guy flew up to buy it and offered me a great price. So ther's somthing to be said about making your Boxster stand out amongst the sea of Boxsters for sale.

I'd do the wheels first. It's the most functional mod. Skirting next and the front bumper last.
