I am shopping for 16" Boxster wheels for my six. Love the look on Jim's car below. They are 6's and 7's. I want four the same, don't care which width. Anyone have the same interest? If I find four I want to swap with someone else so we each have four of the same size. Jim has all 7's on his car now. He says 6's on the front require a spacer to bring the wheel out a bit for appearance. I see them go for $300-400 a set on Ebay.

That is the wheel I like the best from the Boxsters, I would love to run those on my next car. Just not ready yet. Anyone know how those would look on a flared car? Would you need the 7's?

I think 7's would be too small on a flared car, at least if it had standard GT flares.........you'd need about a 2" spacer in the front and a 3" spacer in the rear to look halfway decent with GT flares

the 7's have a 40mm offset ("just" about right for the rear, you might want a 5mm spacer)

for the fronts with a 7", a 1" spacer will make it look better....

the 6' has a 50mm offset
