@smegman I actually saved and sent that pic of your car with the Lotus behind you to my friend, who also drives a Lotus. I expect that will be us this summer... and I told him to get used to that view... of my tail lights.

I got to drive that lotus (exige S 260 sport) and WOW is all I can say

for one, I'm 6'6" and I can't believe I actually fit in the thing with room to spare, and two the go kart handling is just off the charts fun

You still can. There is a guy in marketplace trying to trade his aurum rims for black, I believe.

They were off the table for me as I have PCCBs and was not about to paint the calipers black. The yellow and aurum clash IMO.

Love those wheels with Shark, they work great with many Porsche colors too. I went with black for my Spyder but I'm really feeling those gold wheel. Might need to pick up a set down the road.

Should be on both. Think it was for me in the US when I got mine last November.

There is a thread on the subject on the 718 form. I can't tell you how much I am loving the look. Highly recommended.

Seeing the recent pics makes me feel good about my selection on the Aurum wheels and Shark Blue belts on my Shark Blue GTS order. I really wanted to do a color other than black interior but decided I wanted LWB's more, so at least with the belts and some Pascha inserts in the buckets it will break up the sea of black. Now to wait 6 more months for delivery.

On the Myporsche.com and the app, Might have been in the "track your dream" or "progress" section. It was about 2 months after my order was placed.

Stealing this photo from afastsalesman - does anyone have this photo of their car with gray wheels and red brakes???

I didn't get this overhead photo and would like to appropriate someone else's car with the same spec as my own
