having very little luck finding wheel photos...
i'm planning on buying a boxster S very soon, and was interested i seeing some pics of aftermarket 19"s on boxsters. i haven't found all that much... is it just not a very popular boxster mod or am i missing something. i found a 'wheels thread' but it was kinda disappointing. i'm considering BBS CH's... but am finding nothing.. not even a similar style... i'm very surprised. any help would be great.

it's seems boxster folks aren't too big on wheels and such.

Stick with the champions. PERFECT OFFSETS. BBS offsets aren't as good.

Here is my car with 19" Champion RG5:


Since the wheels are off a 996 NB, I'm using spacers ensure they fit right.

Unless you "slam" your car... it's unlikely you'll rub. Assuming you live in Boston (I lived there for 5 yrs), you don't want to lower your car too much. And keep in mind 19", while look great standing still... will be a pain to drive in the city.

Most of us prefer to spend our money at the track. Looking good while doing so is secondary.
