2009 Meteor Grey/Carrera Red C4S w/AMT Mesh 109's Texture Black Powder Coat

Ok, just got these on and snapped a few quick shots which are not very good but give you an idea.

Peter at WheelExperts.com hooked me up and I am sure will be glad to help you too. Very professional. Thanks Peter!

Dolf the Service Mgr and Jess the Tech at my local Porsche dealer, Bill Pearce Motors in Reno NV, were AWESOME to help me get these installed quickly, with care, and at a great price. Thanks guys! A first class experience.

More pics in better quality soon. We are still having snow :-(

19X8.5 51mm offset/ 19X11.5 37mm offset. This is the Sport PASM suspension option.

Opinions of course will run the gamut, but I think the center caps, lugs and valve stems in metallic contrast to the black give it a "precision, aircraft quality" look and feel.

The ride is noticeably better with the lighter weight and personally I think the look is evil and businesslike. The car does draw the stares constantly, and is a parking lot lookie loo magnet.

THAT is one hot car!!!!!!!!! Wow. I love the grey and red combo, and the black rims with yellow calipers. Well done!

Very nice, like the wheels. I don't know if I could pull of a red interior, but I'd like to try.

Thanks for posting.... love seeing none stock car done right....looks great

Swap them turn signals fast...

is that stock ride height, looks perfect....

On my car, I think the yellow calipers would have been esthetically more pleasing than the red ones I got, but I couldn't justify the expense of the PCCB's. I think with the red interior, the red calipers would be a better look here.

I love the red interior with the meteor! I probably would have gone with some leather bits on the steering column and rearview mirror instead of the black, and might consider some contrasting colour floor mats.

Love the wheels too.

Agree with clear side markers!

I love your car.

savyboy · 03-24-2009, 12:33 AM

PS- That is pure stock interior with only the Carrera Red natural leather option. I did not spec anything else color-wise or leather-wise. Down to the mats and steering column, this is what comes with the Red option.

Just for those that might be curious.

Yes, that is stock ride height, with the S-PASM factory option.

Those look like the light weight magnesium wheels, are they?

Oh and nice shots!

Can you comment on the ride comfort with the S-PASM ? Car looks great, though I am not partial to black wheels but I DO like that they are sooo light weight

Holy Hell that's one bad ass looking ride!!! RAWR!!!!

Dave I · 03-24-2009, 01:31 PM

Love the Carrera Red interior with that exterior color. Great choices all around...killer combination!

cole328 · 03-24-2009, 01:37 PM

sick....purely sick (in a GOOD way) I am amazed at how many awesome color combo's are out there I want one of each

NinetyOneC2 · 03-24-2009, 04:14 PM

Take 10 steps back and try again. looks great anyway.

That is one sweet looking car. While I am not generally a big fan of black wheels, those look good on your car!
