I talk to the sale guy again....he said is $1199 for all 4 wheels 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear. and $1099 for the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. However porsche bolt pattern......is only in 19x8.5 and 19x10.5.

According to the sale guy.....the only reason why is this cheap right now, is because they are running a promotional special right now.

The lines/edges of those rims are too hard. They're too straight. I think because of the Boxster's natural curvaceousness those rims just don't flow. How heavy are they?

like jeph stated take consideration for weight, marterial and strength, is this a multi pc. wheel? are they forged alloy? theyre nice looking on poster but is it a practicle wheel for highway use? you dont want to have air leaks or bends. may i suggest "porsche challenge forged style", "luff wheels" found on ebay similar in price in my opinion more attrative with similar characteristics. personally i would suggest save your paper for a reputable true 3 pc wheel such as hre, kenisis, forgeline, bbs high dollar wheels but worry free.(well almost) here s an idea "iforged wheel" for less than 2500.00 you can own a strong attractive 19" 3pc wheel set. PERFECT!

Thumbs down Dont like

Dont get me wrong the tires look OK but I think the Carrera light alloys are much nicer looking than those. I am not insulting your taste just stating that I prefer the carrera's. Maybe if you give us a different angle to view we can capture the impact of the style change.
