Richard, thanks.
After seeing what's been posted here, I gotta say that those Carrera 5-spokes are really nice. I also like the Kineses K57 or 58 and/or the K17 or 18.

Cameron, do the Carrera lightweight 5 spoke fit a 928 without spacers? What size are the wheels and what size tires do you use on the wheels?
I still like my cup2 but may the carrera looks great!

I have to agree with Big Dave, the cup wheels look the best. The turbo twists are everywhere on every boxster and I'm sick of them. The BBS wheels are too hard to clean, you have to consider that.

Three Wheelin'
The Carrera lightweights that I bought are the 986 version. 7.5 x 18 ET 50 Front, 9 X 18 52 ET rear. The rear ET is correct for a '91 GT and with 265 rubber no spacer is required and the fit is excellent. The front ET is incorrect but with 225 rubber, they are an acceptable fit. They do not stick out of the fender as would a 8X16 with 225 rubber with the same offset.
I tried the 996 fitment and was not satisfied. 8X18 front and 10X18 rear. Rubber was 225 front and 285 rear. The front had an ET of 50 I think and they stuck out of the wheelwell. The rears had an ET of 65 and required spacers. It may have fit but it was so tight that I believed that there would be some rubbing issue somewhere, sometime. That combined with the front issue made me go for the Boxster fitment.
If I was doing it now, I would look first at the 5-spoke 18 inch wheel from the 997. It has a better front offset (ET 57) for the 928 and at a width of 8 inches, could accomodate 235 or 245 rubber.

Beware of the ATP Rivas. They look great and are cheap. I have had a few discussions with owners who insist that they fit even though their fenders and tires were damaged. I tried a set of the 18" wheels and they made contact with my front fenders. They also made my car tramline or follow depressions in the road, probably due to offset. They are also heavy;

17" ATP Riva
Front = 8", +47 mm, 26 lbs
Rear = 9.5", +45 mm, 28 lbs
18" ATP Riva
Front = 8", +47 mm, 28 lbs
Rear = 9.5", +47mm, 31.5 lbs
I see that most everyone who used to offer these wheels for 928s has taken them out of their catalog. Review the previous posts for ATP Riva wheels and fender damage.
