I want these wheels but two problems. They only come in 19's (which I could live with) but they only come in 11" wide. Too wide IMO... I don't want anything to stick out past the qtr lip.

With CV3 you would have the similar design features as the ones shown here.

@Orangecrush Definitely red exterior, black interior, then some all pearl white or matte black with a definitely cool looking red stripe on both combinations if you go with aftermarket wheels. We love both combinations and both work very good on the white car and those colors on the wheels! If you both need any help with the idea and selection lemme know!

Yup, black with red stripe... I had found a couple but nothing in the right width or in 20's.

These are my second choice....




I had someone on here photoshop my wheels in black with a red stripe... I like the look.




My first choice was the roderick if I could get it in 20's and 10.5's. I'm sure once the car comes out, more choices will arrive.

Oh the second choice is pretty similar to our MB1 wheels! We already did a few P-Cars with that setup. For example, on a white 997TT in a Titanium Graphite finish.

Nice!

Racing Yellow really stands out and works great on the 981, I like it better than the old Speed Yellow.

Congratulations!

Looks like you created your own "Black Edition" so that Porsche don't have to...

Looks beautiful! Park our cars next to each other and we will have a visually stunning black/white contrast!

How come your cornering lights are white ..



And Qhb’s are yellow? Was that an option I missed??


Looks great in black too... I really like it.

You can have the clear lights installed if you prefer. No charge option. If your dealer charges you for this they're being pretty cheap.

Love this shot:



Curviest looking Boxster shot I've seen yet!

Also, on the yellow Boxster I'm really liking the 19" wheels. I think I may make those my winter wheels and get the 20" wheels for summer.

Mark,
The dealer asked me about the cornering lights. I preferred the white ones and they changed them out at no cost. Sorry, but I don't know what the Qhb's are.
All,
Thanks for the nice comments. I really don't think you can go wrong with any combination
