What wheels for my Boxster?

Just because we're frugal, doesn't mean we're cheap. Its all about finding the best bang for the buck when it comes to spending our modest amounts of money. So that means expensive, lightweight wheels wrapped in sticky rubber tossed on cars that look like beaters.

Too bad no one is making 18" phone dial replicas...

I'd ask over at rennlist or pelican. I doubt there are many boxsters with aftermarket wheels on this board

Okay, you need some 4X100 wheels, 14 or 15 inch. Then when you find that they don't fit, you can just send them to me.

They sure are. They pay the bills and keep the lights on in my shop, too. That said, have you ever changed a timing chain in a 911 or tried to tune and/or recalibrate the mechanical fuel injection in an early 911? Not rocket science, but not fun work either. Does anyone know how much negative offset I can run on the Boxster wheels?

If you can get the stock size, offset, width, and tire size, then take some clearance measurements, you can get a pretty close idea using this tool.

Boxster + 18" SSR GT3's

I have these (in 18" &19") on my C5 and they are sweet wheels.
