Only £5424!
They're the only ones I can find on the Porsche site for centre lock wheels. Not mad about the design though.

Thanks Nick - might be a case of keeping the wheels and changing the tyres. Those rims would look hideous on the GTSNuclear Nick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:28 amHere they are VanB:

Agreed. But swapping tyres would be a pain. Maybe those rims would look OK painted? I'm not keen on after market rims, particularly on a car like this under warranty.

When I bought my 911 from Porsche Silverstone a few years ago, they offered a full winter wheel/tyre set for a discounted price of £1500 (I think full retail was about £2400) with free storage and wheel swaps. Worked very well and no hassle to me. Certainly made the car a much better all year round daily drive.
Looks like they are starting to focus more on their electric cars. I was talking to our local OPC sales manager last week and he was very positive about Mission E and said they had a lot of interest already from customers. He mentioned that all OPCs will have rapid chargers available on site too. So you could pop in to charge, have a coffee and perhaps be tempted by another 911 or Cayman in the showroom!Dandock wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 8:57 am Just watched Porsche’s unveiling’s at Geneva via FB. No Macan! Just the GT3 RS, more on Mission E and a Mission E / Macan amalgam concept called the Cross Tourismo. Apart from an excess of black bits in the crossover tradition (wheel arches, gutters etc) - which I’m sure will be watered down if it makes production- it looked great. It looked very much like a merged Mission E / Panny Tourismo with Macan overtones and had the full width rear light. If that’s coming to the new Macan as it was seen here then it looks great The CEO was very positive and it fits well with the long rumoured Macan Fastback or whatever it’s been called. No commitment or dates mentioned - simply that they’d be measuring consumer reaction during the show.

Still, they need to get a Cayenne sized SUV electrified before I'm going to be considering another Porsche. That still looks like 5 years or more away at this point.
Yep, that's what mine do. Some independents also offer the service but for peace of mind, I'd think the OPC would be your best bet as the tyres need to be stored properly, not just slung in a warehouse and revisited in 8 months.
Indeed, and with the next gen 911 already prepped for E power, definitely so.Peteski wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 12:16 pmLooks like they are starting to focus more on their electric cars.

The E Cross looks a mite smaller than the Panny so that aspect would actually appeal fit for us.
