They aren’t unfortunately, half inch narrower in the front and an inch narrower in rear. Good to run slightly narrower tires for winter though.

I wish the standard GT4 wheels had scalloped spokes like the similar style wheels on the newer Cayennes, makes the wheels look so much better imo.

I posted a couple of these in the Kline thread - sorry for the cross post - but figured I'd add a few drops to this bucket since it's been a while!

Cayman GTS 4.0 in Switzerland

I put this in a thread about my European Delivery experience but thought I’d join in here. What a great color.

I did a double-take when I saw your delivery photos, my plate is S 66Y.

Filthy, salty shark.

Picked up a pre-owned SB Spyder about a month ago. Previous owner had the gall to put 250 miles on it! I am so thankful to them! I’m close to 1000 miles and almost ready to hear her sing above 5K.

SB is growing on me a lot. I picked the car, not necessarily the color, but it really works. Coming from Meteor Gray, Agate Gray and GT Silver. Not used to the additional attention, but it is absolutely a gorgeous car.

I think the spec is pretty good. Anything major I missed out on? Usually I spend months on a designator so I learn that particular model well, but I haven’t specced a Cayman/Boxster platform since 2011.

Cheers to my fellow Sharks!

Quiet Friday at work today. Still, SB pops in a sea of grey and white.

Not the greatest pics, but, I've fallen in with a "bad" crowd at one of my favorite brewery's. These are two of one of the guys cars next to mine on different days. His 912 is down for repair.
