Excellent! That looks great! I put Boxster 7X16's all around on mine...turns out the offsets were perfect for me and required no spacers.

Aaron, mine are two sets of rears and paid $200 bucks for all 4 including the center caps. Good thing is you can get the 16's really cheap as most boxster owners are upgrading to 17's. Here is a pic of mine with Boxster rims snapped at the Fall Foilage Classic.

PLEASE tell me that car is going to be at the WCC! I'm impressed. I really like the gray section between the tail light lenses. Nicely done.

17s make the car sit up really high. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) But they look great regardless (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Thanks all
The wheels are 17x7 boxter s alloys. I am running 205 50 17 ruber. Three of the wheels have 24mm spacers and one (left rear) has a 20mm spacer. Slight roll of the fender lip on the left rear. The car is definately not the same side to side. There are some detail shots of the filler panel and 914 v8 graphic on my webshots page. (link below) The clear lenses are from Clauss Studios.

Actually the 17s are .8% taller than 195 65 15s, or 1.3mm taller. Not enough to notice. The car is in Detroit, so it will probably not be at the WCC.

Looks good! Crank down the torsion bars and lower the front a little.

McMark, Look at the cut lines where the bumpers meet the body. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) I've seen this car. You'd really like the interior too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

I thought he stopped making them. Did you get them long ago? Overall, very nice details! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Not sure what you're refering to, are they cut closer with less gap or?
