Congratulations! Aren't those 20" rims a bit too much? How's the ride?

Thanks for the compliments.
ADias; I was afraid of the ride quality so while I had tes droven a few 2S's with the regular set of wheels, I insisted another one just before I drove the one I know have (with the 20" champion rims). To be honnest, if there was any difference in ride quality it really wasn't noticeable. I did however take the same sharp left turn (limited at 20mph) twice which each car and the 20" and their hard sidewall did corner a bit better.
So probably a bit better handling and no harsher ride. The caveat? A lighter wallet and road noise is a bit more pronounced I believe on the highway.
I'm willing to live with both of the latter!
I was actually contemplating a custom order with paint to sample, etc to make this 911 "mine", the sizeable discount was enough to make me change my mind and "suffer" through an initial 911 off the lot to learn what it is that I would actually want to order custom - not what I think I would want to order.
The wheels were a small premium compared to custom order to have it made mine a little bit.
Also want to take a second to thank everyone for their input and price suggestions. This is a great forum.

The amount of PPL that talk **** about others cars on this forum just plain SUCKS! IMO -
What an amazing looking vehicle, but of course someone (normally the same 1 or 2 ppl) has to make a comment.
Surprised no one said some bull**** about you wanting to tint your windows.
Awesome vehicle -
I'm thinking about 35% tint for my slate grey.
Clear Bra's rock!

ok so 35% tint it is then. That'll probably have to wait 'til after 1st of year.
Managed to put on another 100 miles or so today. The 4200rpm mark is rather tough to stay under I must say.
w00tPORSCHE; You mention Ventureshield clear bra. I might consider it if the look is different than what I've seen already. The orange peel was too pronounced for my taste. I think it was 3M though.
Any experienced installers in Central Florida? If what I've seen was 3M, I don't want. I do like the idea of the bra, but the look has to be good

Beautiful looking car. And your weather looks equally impressive compared to our NorthEast snow.
The black wheels go well with the car. Drive her well. Enjoy.
