Default Looking for pics of 944 with these 17" OEM/BBS/lattice type of Boxster wheels

Hi guys, I am looking at these 17" wheels, but am having a hard time finding anyone who has them on their 944. I would like to see a pic on the car before I buy, and am hoping that one of you can help out. Thanks!

FYI, those are 18's...I also prefer the look of 17's on the 944/968 chassis so good choice in your wheel size.
Just to clarify, the image and link in post #2 are 18's...

You will Need spacers on the front wheel and spacer purchased from wheel enhancements

Spacers? Standard Boxster wheels on an '87 944 should be fine according to all the posts I have read. And I put '00 996 stock wheels on my past 944S with perfect fittment in the past.

Spacers on the front let you put the center caps on. His wheels are original 996

Wierd it looks like my post with the pics did not submit. let me try again...

they are 17" sport classics off of a 996 so a bit wider I'm the rear than the boxter wheels. but they really update the look and the car drives great.

if you have tire fitment questions please let me know.





PS the white GT3 is Garyss' car. tell him he needs to drive it more.
