They have to be larger in the rear then the Boxster version I assume.
Weird. I don't see many 997s, but when I do those wheels are frequently on them. I'm sure they're a different size

I think they were XRR on the earlier cars, but the 987.2 had them as a "standard" option. They are 19x10" rear and 19x8.5" front.

Well, I'd never intentionally buy a black car because my detailing skills are lacking, but yes, black over black looks a lot better to me. Red looks gaudy to me.
