This look like OZ wheels. Do you have the weight estimate for each wheel?

It is like 22 up front, 25 rear. I am no scientist, but if a 21 pound 17 is a light weight rim, these must be fairly good and not lumps of lead.

sweeeet.

put the 275 on the rear, i was told that the 265 would be stretching it onto a 10.5 inch rim.

hey have you lowered the boxster. i lowered my car with 1.3 inch H&R springs and the car is amazing, not bumpy or too low at all. think about it, the rims look totally different on the car with a 1 inch drop....trust me.

take your porsche crests, and on the back bend the plastic clips in wards, a little. stick it into the middle and they fit snug. i then got some cement glue, not really cement, but home depot glue. and just put three touches of glue around the clips on the inside of the wheel.

i'll go outside to my work parking lot right now and take a picture of the wheel center cap....if this helps show you what it might look like.
