They both look good, there are two boxsters on this board with those wheels. Though, I dont like 19's on the 986. They just look oversized. I bought the Tire Rack sport edition cup wheels and they look great.

I know you asked for silver. I have the top 19" on black. I love them.

do the Boxster SPyder wheels (aka GT2) require spacers for 986 fit in the rear? I assume these are 10"

from those two options I prefer the top wheels, BUT
to be honoust I upgraded my new old boxster recently with carrera s wheels, 18 inch because of the comfort, I just love them!

mostly heared comments...very classic but still timeless!

success with your personal choice!

I was able to get a set or 993 turbo twist,

But I'm now upgrading to a gt3 front bumper & sides so now thinking of getting another set, maybe bbs lm or either these 2 as the would suit the gt3 body kit better than the twists
