Not a fan of the "rubber band" look, but if you like em, more power to you. At least you'll stand out from the sea of vettes I see everywhere.

Did you notice any loss in acceleration?

Watch out for potholes ! I like the dished look, but I personally dig the 18/19 setup. If you are happy, that is all that matters.

Default I like them!!

If you haven't already, have you tried lowering a bit with the stock bolts? I think that would really finish that look off!

Boxster with 19" wheels and 30 series tires came into my shop yesterday. Wheels looked like tacos. Porsche has very soft rims. Hope your roads are better than ours and your wheels are stronger.

Car is beautiful. Congrats on your purchase.
