You can search available wheels by size bolt pattern offset, etc here: https://www.1010tires.com/Wheels?activetab=bysize

Boxster bore is 71.6 so you could do anything that size or larger w/ hub centric rings.

While I'm waiting for the flares to come back from the wrap shop I installed the fender vents that I made a couple weeks ago. The fender flares fit right up against these so you won't be able to see the thin strip between the vent and the wheel well

I worked on the trunk a little more this morning, I'll admit the photos don't look great put in person the turbos are centered under the trunk holes. It'll look much better wrapped too. Next up I need to install the mesh covers over the turbos and make the aluminum sides to the oil cooler vent

Now the engine is running I can work on some fun things. I got the dash/gauges working this week. It looks absolutely wild in person. Super happy the way it turned out. Definitely a racecar finish though, not up to street car quality but still cool.

The exhaust is finally done. The trunk is almost done (besides wrapping) and the new rear wing has been sent off to the water jet to be made. It’s coming together.





The wing is going to be a 70s IMSA style wing supported from the sides. I love the 70s IMSA cars and I don’t car if tech has improved, it’s just too cool not to do.
