Default 500 mile day goes well, but which rims?

So, after solving my running rich problem, I took the car on a 500 mile shake down. No issues, ran like a champ.
But the real question, the stock phone dials or the bling rims the last owner installed?

I hated the rims when I bought the car, then kind of got used to them, then got the phone dials on.
I like phone dials, but I like stock (took off the rear wing too).
Just threw it out there.

Leave the phone dials on.

Please.

What in God's name are those other rims?

What did you use for spacers? 1 1/2”? Or more?

Best part, they need conical nuts and were installed with stock, ball nuts.

^^ Exactly!! Looks good without the wing too.

I'm sure there is a high school kid that would love to put the other wheels on his '98 boxster. Post them on Facebook marketplace and they will be sold in a week.

I'm usually very open minded about wheel choice, but yikes......these will give me nightmares. How much do they weigh???
