They look great, but I think I need to change the aluminum interior pieces with carbon to blend with the darker wheel, geez more money! I never realized how expensive Porsche options are until I realized I am adding almost $45k in options on a $91k car? Maybe it would be cheaper to have my brain examined haha!!

Oh the addiction to create the perfect car!! Why can't they just offer a manual transmission and back seat option on the GT3? Marketing I guess, for every 1 they don't sell they probably sell 2-3 more because of the PDK!

I agree with Haku. These are the best wheels.

A very Happy 2014 to you as well AG.

The wheels have really held up better than I had expected them to. The finish and durability is top notch.

A few closeups. The scuffing is some sticky stuff which rubbed of easily.

These ARE undeniably the best wheels for the 991. But I am biased :-)

As careful as you are in avoiding curb rash etc. eventually over time you are going to get chips. Wheels are living in a pretty hostile environment everyday while drive so it's bound to happen. It's just a matter of time. Especially at higher speeds.

Thanks, your car is very close to what I have come up with, silver C4 with the AeroKit. Your car looks great in the pic!

What interior trim did you spec and what color?
