They don't look right without the stripes!
ORIGINAL: kitchens Kenny's wheels have 18/20 mm silver band where as the Spyder wheels have 6mm band . Look nice to the untrained eye are no different to the Spyder ones... If you look all the other Spyder and Cayman R wheels painted black all have a narrow band of silver on them.

Mine were painted aftermarket by the previous owner and have the wider band and are Basalt black, without the silver/grey interior. I must admit that I would prefer them to be factory spec, but they still look great!

Worst joke of the year coming up - Look away now or don't read on. ---------------------------------------------------- This Spyder can't be a Trade Sale! Why cant it? Because its a Private - it has no stripes! I DID WARN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
 
ORIGINAL: jdpef356 But we do have a Boxster S Black edition http://www.porsche.com/microsite/black-edition/usa.aspx?model=boxster

Yep Boxster S, Cayman S and Carrera black editions. I wonder why they didn't choose the Careers S. Also it didn't get an extra power like how the boxster S and Cayman S blacks took on the Spyder and R engine tunes respectively.
 
Carrera Sport wheel has a much wider flat rim circumference beyond the spokes, so when painted the Porsche way the silver lip is inherently wider.

So were they painted after market? I like the rim left in silver only and would definitely do that to mine if i was in the market for a refinish

Supplied new on car or so I was told byOPC who sold the car new, thanks for putting me right on the 'Black Edition' not being on the Spyder, looks like I have been wrong on this one. Kenny Spyder
 
Great to see another white Spyder lapping BrandsHatch Indy today! No A/C / Porsche Lithium Battery / Manual / PCCB / RSS Arms -2 allround / shagged PS2's haha Got it on the weigh bridge with no roof or front tool kit at 1275kg (no driver / half a tank)

Tks..at last a Spyder on the weigh bridge to get an idea of real world weight......About as expected, as in not really that light!....Regulations see to that. I would have expected the pccb car without roof to come in slightly lower, as an ultimate spec car without the roof. Great cars all the same![:D]
