Thought you might like to see what I've been up to while my S sits patiently in the garage waiting for the snow to melt.........

I fitted her with some new wheels and rotors.............can't wait for the warm weather to come!

Nice! Lower it and your gonna have to worry about your fender liners bigtime! With that setup you will probably only pop 1 plug out from time to time.

Very nice. Gotta love the lower profile tires. What kind of rubber did you stick on there?

Nice rims. I used to have the 17" versions, but I sold them because I didn't like the limited options for tires.

Jim in his sig it says he has P7000 tires.

The front looks a little higher because I had one back tire on blocks. When its on the ground, the spacing looks pretty good.

And yes, they are Pirelli P7000s.............need to take it out and see how they perform, otherwise I'm going for a set of S03s...........

DON'T GET S-03'S!!!! If you push the car hard or expect close to the same abilities as the OEM rubber IT'S NOT THERE!

I would highly recomend S-02's in a 18" size the N1's. They are the OEM on the Boxster S with the 18" rim package. Probably as close as you can get to our OEM rubber without going to a R compound.
