Your wheels look nice and the spoke style is easy to keep clean. Big plus!

Been looking to P/U a set of speedline or Rook 18" used for a while. Gary in S FLA (GoGosFLA) has a set on his 986 and they look great!

anyone have any recommendations on some 0" lip monoblock style (10ish spokes) rims in an 18x10et 42 rear and a similar aggressive offset and width for the fronts?
love the gt3 rs look with the satin black rims but don't necessarily want gt3 knock offs

Wheels on the bus...

I think I have the same one as Boggtown's ride. I've had these on since beginning of February and really likem. Really gives the Boxster a different stance from the rear and the side, probably among my favorite upgrades yet.

Some of the things I wouldn't mind installing in the future are some aggressive looking front bumper, rocker panels, and that rear diffuser that kind of complete the bumper where the muffler is. I think that would complete the look for my exterior (oh and maybe some clear front headlights)

19"carrera II's

Got my 19's last week, upgraded from 18" turbo twists that were 10" in back and 8.5 upfront, on Michelin pilots. New wheels are 8" x 19" 57mm offset up front and 9.5" x 19" 46mm offset in back,with BFG's G force 225/35 up front, 265/30 in back.
I was a little leery after ordering these as I didnt want that " pimp my ride look" but IMHO I think these look good without looking too flashy. Ride is not noticeably rougher from my other setup, which is now taking up space the garage and needs to be sold soon if anyone is looking for a set of 18"s (pictures in my previous post) PM me if interested.

I hope you didn't have to pay full tilt boogey for those!
I thought I had a set in hyper-black, or whatever BBS calls their version, for 1500, but turned out to not be them.

Kind of......paid the full US asking price which was about $4,500 including the tyres from Tirerack. ********************loads cheaper than the UK price - was quoted $8,000 for wheels only!!
