opinions please

 



 

 



 

I know it looks like its on stilts, but its just been jacked up and not driven,

 

they are Boxster S Split rims a $3300 option, the rears are fine, the fronts need a 5mm spacer

 

and they need a refurb

Think they might be a right pain to refurb


20 Titainium bolts in each wheel to take out for the refurb,

That’s 80 bolts at $8 each, this is not going to be cheap

Not sure here....hmm...Looks a little too much like add-on rims and hard to clean. Just a little too busy for my taste as well.

I like them a lot, but the refurb costs would concern me, and I am partial to 5 spoke wheels on 968's. After cleaning the 14 spoke wheels on our Volvo, I really appreciate the smooth spokes of the ATI wheels. I clean those in about 90 seconds each!

They were also used on the 996.1 GT3 which we did not get in the US. I like them, think they compliment the car very well.

You guys are overly concerned with wheel cleaning challenges - spend a minute talking to a Jaguar owner about this issue .

They are nice wheels, but I think they look better on a later model car.  I like the five spoke look on these cars and there are some later generation five spokes that look great and are easy to clean.  And easy to clean is really important, especially to be able to reach inside an clean the inner barrel.

Cosimo had a set of Fikses that were just beautiful. Haven't seen him on here in a while, but you can probably search.

 

I'm a fan of Sport Classics.

Here is the bottom line,,,,just like judging wine...if you like them, they are good. We all have different taste in wine, cars.....and rims. $3300...auch!!

These are still my favorite wheels for modernizing a 968 without making it look like you're taking a huge leap into the future and inconsistent with the car's era , but the ones in Waylander's photo achieve that same result , IMO

I dunno, I like the enkei's on my track car and have often considered putting them on the queen. It would ruin the stock white painted wheels look but so few would know and even fewer would care. Of course some of you liberal purist dems out there might say I have already destroyed the lines on this car. While not a total PIA to clean they take a little more time.

Yes, those looks good. Just an upgrade from the C2 wheels to make the car car just a little more modern without going overboard......Good choice!!

 

PS: Easier to clean too!!

Those are perfect looking to my eye for the 968...I just acquired my car in the last week and it has the Cup 2 wheels (not that conversant on these things yet!) but I would like to change them at some point. What are these wheels exactly?

 

Thanks!

I believe those wheels are the " Boxster S " ones. Not 100 % certain, but I think if you search Boxster S wheels there are only a couple of OE versions for that car at different stages of its production and the photo is one of them ..

The wheels in my picture are Boxster S Split rims, they were a $3000 option......

 

But here you go same car with CUP II, fitted with Nangkang NS2R tyres, not for the faint hearted in the rain

 



 

And Again with CUP I, these are fitted with GT-Radial  Champiro HPY, they have been really good
