You all have very nice roadsters. I just came into possession of a Lapis Blue/ gray and would like to change the stock 5 spoke twist to perhaps another color. You think I could pull off a Gloss White? Have not seen one on our roadsters but many other cars and look great. What say you all?

Meh...white doesn't sound right. Did mine in plasti-dip black - like it a lot. Try red! Easy to change if you don't like!

Not my preference but everyone is different. Here is a thread that will show you what a blue boxster with white wheels looks like

Hey Lapister...Here is my 2001 Lapis Blue with white wheels...I love it! I know it does not appeal to everyone but i wanted to do something a little different. I had the original 5 spoke wheels on it as well and decided to change them to the 10 spoke and have them powder-coated. I had the front/side vents and center caps painted to match and of course did the side PORSCHE stripe. I think the contrast looks great with the Lapis Blue. I see you are in Pasadena, maybe see you around sometime!!

White Wheels

Drew, I think that's a pretty nice signature myself. Better than I thought it would be. Socal? We should do a local run sometime. My Wilson, Crystal Lake, Glendora Mt Rd? Supercarsunday? Want to see it in person. Thanks for sharing.
