Thank you very much, really appreciate those pics.

Looks like std matt side blades but with the high gloss window surrounds.....do you recall if the exhaust was std (silver) or black please?

I am now down to final decsions on everything except the wheels and it's down to:
The 21” 911 Turbo Design Wheels with multispoke design.
Tyres Front: 265/40R21
Tyres Rear: 295/35R21

20" Macan Turbo includes wheel centres with full-colour Porsche Crest. Dual-arm five-spoke design. Centre spokes with paint finish in exterior colour, including wheel centre coloured crests.
Tyres Front: 265/45 R29 tyres
Tyres Rear: 295/40 R20 tyres

Two things you might help me with . . .
Clearly the 21" wheels are the fabulous wheels and make a bold statement but will the ride be a bone shaker? My bones are pretty old!
The 20" wheels are not as eye catching, but do come with deeper tyres and are £600 less (not that £600 is going to make much of dent in £60k).

Help!!!!

I also not that the tyres are different sizes back to front - why? And what's R29 i.e. not R20

21s will be “harsher” (it’s all relative) than the 20s (and not as easy to keep clean)
Yes the rear tyres are wider and a different profile to the fronts (on all sizes) butI think the “29” must be a misprint!

Buy the 21s. The ride is far from harsh and they look so much better

Thanks - can I take it that you are talking from first hand experience i.e. you are driving on these 21" wheels with the low profile tyres?

I do really like those 911 wheels but my son who has had 911's and the like believes my old bones might not be up to the ride?

Surely there must be lots on here who have first hand experience of the ride on these low profile 21" wheels - tell me about it?
