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.

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

Champion Rims is what Scott997 is referring to... (a company/brand)..

As for wheels, there are TONS of aftermarket wheels... I just bought some Victor Equipment wheels for my Cayman S...

Google these:
Wheel Dynamics
Wheel Experts
Wheels Boutique
Wheels Direct Online
Wheel Studio
GetYourWheels.com

and for sizing/offsets check these:

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

TONS of info out there... find your original offsets and calculate/work from there..

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.
