Well, anything is easier, especially this, and if you have the money to farm it out, so be it. They are a major part of the look of the car.

The boxter wheel question was handled well, above. They fit, they're fine, but even the 17's are constructed so that the wheel itself sticks-out past the tire, so it could collect curbs if you ever parallel park. Watch offsets, mine are 55's, they are fine. We can cover that subject before you buy, no need to confuse things now.

MP, I just want to say I am very happy for you. The engine sounds fine.

Enjoy, and be prepared for frustration, cause stuff will break and stop you dead, spend and fix it, drive on and enjoy. Thats the cycle.

I've got the proverbial 10K tied up into a car that nobody could sell for more than 4K. Sunday, the fuel pump failed. Next week, I'll be back on the road.
