Ha....nice! so, you mentioned the car wash...will the 20" OEM tire/rim combo fit through the carwash tracks? I have handwashed mine for the initial 5 months, but its getting harder and harder to find the time would be nice to be able to take it to the local one it's brushless, and they do many many high endcars, but it still has that "wheel track" system that makes me nervous.... My wife's S550, also with 20's, goes through it fine, and there's not a scratch on hers But, a Panamera GTS....hmmm...so far, just been unable to do it.....

thoughts?

I take my PTT to the car wash every day - it's a car and it will look fine with a wax every 6 months. The track in my car wash is 13 inches, my 20" OEM's and the new rims both fit through just fine

Is it just me that notices extra scratches on my vehicle after going through the drive through washes? I really like them but usually feel guilty once using one because I find new scratches. As a result, I have decided to hand wash or make due until I have time to wash.

OK - so I just got my rims back from Vorsteiner and had them refinished from Matte grey to brushed - it was dark and crappy weather but here are the pics - I will hope for some sun. They are the exact rims as the matte ones just a different finish.


I think I may want to just swap them for a set of the classic 20" Porsche rims....
