Very nice! The gunmetal looks awesome on your Boxster.

Thanks for the input. I'll have to measure the offset difference between the DPEs and the SSRs. Maybe a small spacer will give them just the right offset. For now I'm going to stick with the SSRs. Something about the Porsche center caps seems to make the subtle difference for me.

I like the SSR's. If you need spacers I have 7 and 15mm and bolts.

Thanks man. I think if you use a spacer in your rears, the SSR's will look pretty good on your car. Great looking bodykit btw.

I'll measure them when I get a chance and let you know. It may take a week or two since I'm getting ready to go on vacation. I want to compare them to the DPEs and see what the difference is before I decide for sure.

Thanks,

Thanks Man! I love the way it looks... and sounds. I have the IPD Plenium, CAI (K&N and AIM dry filter combo), Cargraphic headers and exhaust. Also packing a B&M short shifter and K40 2000P radar and defuser.

They look the same to me, although I have the benefit of seeing them in person. I'll measure them and post the results.

Na, I just didn't like the look. Excuse me for saying, but the 19s looked too much like wagon wheels. They seemed big for the car. IMO
