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.

I've finally found some wheels that I think I'll put on my 2001 Boxster. I'm upgrading to 19" but I'm a bit torn...here are some illustrations of what I'm debating. There are 2 slightly different ones that I'm debating...all thoughts are welcome.
The ones on the FRONT or REAR????
Since you did say all thoughts are welcome, I tend to prefer wider spokes to thin ones.
Ruf makes some cool rims and I am a sucker for phone dials and turbo twists.
From the picture you have, I do prefer front to back.
Wow...I appreciate the feedback everyone. I'm STILL torn, I'm leaning towards the back because they are "Boxster Spyder" look-a-likes and the finish is a bit brighter. I believe that the front ones more of a matte or machine finish.
Most of your are saying go 18 instead of 19???
I got the idea of 19s from this forum as it seems that most people are upgrading to that size with no ride problems. I guess I better do some more research
I'll take a slightly smaller tire for better road smoothness any day - then again, I'm not a performance driver who's pushing the car to it's limits.
Also depends on the type of roads you have. They aren't the nicest up here with our winters - so like some extra rubber on there.
As for the wheels below - if I had to choose, I would go with the fronts. Not a fan of the narrow spokes on the back.
I prefer the fronts in an 18. I don't like 19's only because of the weight penalty. I've seen a few 19's on boxsters and they seem to give the appearance that the car has been slightly lowered without actually lowering the car.
