Wheels
I may have come to this a year too late as it's looking like much of the stuff I like was on last years model. Now onto wheels . . . the two attached pics show (bottom pic) one of last years options; a very handsome alloy and the other (top pic) is one I have been offered as the nearest to it. That other option has been offered to me (for £2,828) it does not appear on the list of wheel options which makes me wonder if I can chose wheels off other models and if that is the case which wheels? I have to add I DO NOT like black alloys or tend not to like black alloys with 'milled' lines. Ideas?
For reasons known only to Porsche the wheel PCDs do seem to vary from model to model and the geometry also differes.
Hence it is not simply a case of buying a different set of wheels without checking carefully.
There again the use of non standard model wheels will potentially cause warranty issues.
Suggest that you just go with the ones you like best but be aware all those you show above are sods to clean.
I have Spyders and it can take me 1 hour to clean them alone although they are so dirty at the moment it will be considerably longer this time.
Edit
Sorry PCD is the radius of the holes for the mounting bolts

Hi. The wheel you like in your first post above is the 911 Turbo design of wheel. As you say, that was available on the original pre-facelift Macan.
Here is the current version of that 21” 911 Turbo wheel. I think it looks great. I had it on my 2017 Panamera 4 when I covered 17k miles in a year. I think it’s a handsome wheel and I personally found it pretty easy to clean.

I went to a different showroom today to look at the Night Blue and Volcanic Grey. (Unfortunately neither lit me up, the blue's a bit too blue and the grey is black). Bye the by I saw the some lovely wheels on a green macan. I do like these wheels but can't seem to find them on the configurator?

^^^ All down to different lighting conditions.
Variance in lighting conditions can hugely affect the appearance of car exteriors, interiors and wheels.

Look the same to me.....have you been drinking?!
Did you get more pics of the Mamba Green and Night Blue Macan's please?
If you are correct I'm having them, they looked fabulous in real life. All that said I am a bit worried about the ride as most of my driving is up and down to the golf club and there's a lot of speed humps along the way.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 7:23 pm ^^^ All down to different lighting conditions.
