Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Scored an amazing deal today. Purchased a set of 07 Cayman 18's with original tires for $400 bucks. A good day for me. This weekend I will determine what if any spacer that I may need. My great buy today. My Boxster S.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know...I felt like a thief. But it felt so good to get them. Just love the Cayman wheels...they just have that bold look to them.

POST 4Original post

Congratulations! I recently bought the same wheels (also with tires) for considerably more. I installed them on my 2000 base 986 with no spacers needed. I was also able to sell my old 17" wheels and tires which helped recoup some of the expense.

POST 5Original post

Ok, now that you have yours,,, HOW DID YOU DO THIS???

Post a picture so I can see them on your ride.

I occasionally check craigslist for Boxster parts. I hit just at the right time. Got them from a guy in Daytona...a 50 mile drive from Orlando. It pays to check ebay, cl, and the forums. Deals are available, usually these guys just want them out of their way.

POST 9Original post

Very nice wheels! I have picked up several sets of 986 17" wheels for $400-$500 depending on condition but 18s usually go for a lot more.

POST 11Original post

I have them too. My fronts came with 235s and the right one rubbed on the bottom of my strut perch. I haven't heard of this before, so maybe my pass side strut perch is lower for some reason. I went down to 225 which doesn't rub - I assume the diameter is slightly less - just enough to avoid having the inside 3/4 inch from rubbing up on the perch.

POST 13Original post

Nice! Every once and a while you can find a pair of wheels and tires for amazing prices. I've seen a few slip right under my nose.

POST 14Original post

Nice wheels! I actually like the look of your oem BBS-SDII wheels better, but these are a close second and, I suspect, lighter. Do you by any chance have comparative weights available that you could share?

POST 16Original post

Great find! I love digging through Craig's. I thought my 18" twists for $500 with tires was a good find.

POST 17Original post

Leave them. Black makes the look like rims missing their hubcaps.

POST 18 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not a big lover of painted or colored rims. Natural, chrome or silver is my choice.

POST 19Original post

And what will you be doing with those lovely wheels you're taking off? I doubt you need them for snow tires.... I'd be glad to get them them out of your way. Does $400 sound about right?
