I love the look of the wheels. They're fairly wide too: 225 in the front and 285 in the back. Grip for days..
Cool - yep they look good and WIDE!!

Cool Boxster project, Stan. You can start your own thread of refurbished Porsches. I want a Boxster now

Road trip to Reno for the Far Western Vollyball Championships. Gassing up before we hit the road. Great trip!

Finally got mine paint corrected....looked like the PO had washed it with a Brillo pad. Much, much better now, but still a few warts. Work done by Automobilia, in West Haven, CT. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't really cooperating for a good photo shoot. I was looking for a good location on the way back to work after picking up the car and drove this ridgetop road loaded with $1,000,000+ homes and was gonna pull into the driveway of one and snap some photos with the car/house and valley spread out behind it, but I chickened out, lol

That looks great. Is that a respray or just a good detail? I just paid a detailer $200 to get the swirls / toddler decorations and it's pretty meh. Feel like I should've bought a good orbital and done it myself.
