You should just go with the OEM Carrera 18's. Here's a pic. I think they look cleaner. The "black with silver lip" rim is dying out...at least here in TX.

Thanks for your answer...You konw in France "we" are always a bit late
I just want my car to be a little different, OEM Carrera are seen on many cars (even if they beautiful!).

anyone knows http://www.wheeldynamics.net/

I know it's copy of OEM but what about the quality ? they say :
We only sell quality wheels for your Porsche. Our aftermarket replica wheels are pressure cast just as the originals. They compare in weight and finish to the original equipment for a fraction of the cost. All of our wheels are either TUV or JWL certified

Ebay buyers seems to be OK but i want to be sure.

Thanks.

Well as a designer, I think the wheels are quite hansom in there simple 5 spoke design. Personally though, the large polished area makes the wheels look small and takes away from there simplicity. I’d tone that way back if not get rid of it all together.

P.K.

Sorry man, I think the black with silver lip looks cheap. I would recommend saving your money and getting something nice like RUF rims (for example). I've seen them on a Black Boxster and WOW, they look incredible. I think a guy named "Ruf986" or "firehawk" was selling his. Click on his link to see his red boxster with the RUF rims.

I do believe wheels with "the red circle" are referred to as Time Attack

BTW, your Photoshop looks amazing!!!
