    Re: Does anyone use rim tape?

    I think that most rims are painted on like the wheels on the new M3. But I dont think many p[eople would notice if you tried to use the tape creatively. IMO it looks tigh with the right color scheme

    a lot of guys with bikes do it, but i think you need a step lip in order to pull it off

    Not a factory option. That is actually a silver stripe. When you order the GT3 wheels in black or any other color they leave the lip unpainted.

    So then when is the new boxster supposed to hit showrooms? The parents just ordered their's yesterday and saw they changed the wheel options, Front and Rear ends, and different engine's? When did they start the production of them?

    Yeah they oreded just the base 6-speed Boxster with the Boxster S II wheels, heated seats, bose radio, and painted roll bars is what i can think of off the top of my mind. The color combo's are Macadamian Metallic, Coco Top, and Coco interior.
