does anyone have any pics of either of these wheels on a silver 986s?

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.

Anyone have pics on a silver car?

JAAY 01-24-2013 05:49 AM

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"

Yes they would look absolutely fantastic on a Silver car.
I got these off ebay for $1200.

Bottom wheel, top cap. Without a doubt.

goldsc_78258 02-22-2013 03:06 PM

top wheel for sure, kind of looks like a newer version of the minilites

ducati11 02-22-2013 03:16 PM

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!

dsisco 02-22-2013 11:18 PM

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

To members "more" and 'jaay" can you guys please confirm the width and offset you are running on your wheels to the benefit of the rest of us? Thanks so much for your help...

58ceramicgreen 06-05-2013 06:22 PM

19" Carrera Classic 2's with GT3 style side skirts..another option for you.

+1 on this question -listed as the gt2 rs on ebay "for Boxsters- 986" but when I asked the seller - they say may be the wrong offset. Is a 60 offset on a 19x10 not going to work on a 986 for the rear? Can anyone else chime in?

+60 is way too high of an offset for a 986 boxster. At a minimum you''ll need to run a 15mm spacer.

Is anyone else running the eBay gt2 19 inch set up - member more was unable to provide his specs? I really like these wheels but not going to buy unless I get some more input from someone that has a set.
