Looking to buy these wheels for 2006 987 S. Need advice....


Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy these wheels on ebay for my 2006 Boxster S.

Here is a summary of my driving style:

I use the car for 99% city driving and put about 7,000 miles a year on my car and have never done track driving (although might light to try it down the road). I am looking to replace the wheels that came with the car and keep my tires.

And most importantly, I am ignorant when it comes to specs/mechanical issues, etc.... I don't want to spend $1,000 on wheels to find out that I made a mistake or they don't fit.

Can somebody tell me if I am making a mistake or need more information? Or better yet, they think it will work....

Here are the specs according to the seller:

Offset: 50 mm front & 47 mm rear

Bolt Pattern: 5 X 130

Size: 18 X 8.0" front & 18 X 10" rear

Weight: 24 lb front and 26 lb rear

I have included a link of the seller on ebay and my car

If these are the 19" SportDesign wheels, they are the ones I have on my Boxster and look really good. If they are 19" you're obviously not going to be able to fit 18" tyres on to these wheels.

They're quite a firm ride, so convince yourself that you're satisfied with changing the characteristics of the way the car drives.

They are 18" wheels that are copies of the SportDesign wheels...
