not a huge fan of the OEM finish but will keep these for the eventual sale of the Spyder. Looking for a near or new set. Must accommodate PCCB. Thank you !

I'd recommend going with Apex VS-5RS ... cheaper, and lighter ... box the OEM.

Why don't you just have the stock wheels professionally refinished to Platinum Satin. It should cost less than $1,000. It's not like you are destroying a unique OEM equipment package since they are already available from the factory in that color. Chances are that fewer buyers would even want the gold rims anyway.

Owning a Boxster 25 Years, I fully appreciate the desire to not mess with the OEM parts, hence why I just removed my Neodyme wheels / body trim pieces altogether to save for the next buyer and replaced them with matte black trim from the standard GTS 4.0. I only did that because they are for a specific special edition that may or may not be meaningful to a future purchaser looking for a Boxster 25 Years. However, in your case, nobody would pass on your car because you chose a different OEM wheel color. If you painted them a custom non-Porsche color, that would be a totally different story.

+1 on picking up a spare set and holding onto the stock wheels. Put the stockers back on when you sell the car, sell the spares and you may not be out much $ at all, less the cost of swapping tires & an alignment.

I also wouldn't refinish the stock wheels as some people are picky about specs not matching the Monroney label, i.e. "why does the car have silver wheels when the window sticker shows gold finish?"

To each their own, but I think the gold wheels look great with your Gentian Blue Spyder, though I do admit the gold wheels clash a bit with the yellow caliper.

Appreciate the responses, keep them coming ! I am definitely going the route of purchasing a 2nd set of wheels, and I haven’t ruled out an aftermarket set.

Which is why I paid Porsche another $800 to make my $8000 PCCB calipers black. Nothing like a punch in the face after a swift kick to the *****.
