Thanks guys! The rims are from Variant and got them from a local tire shop (Tire Connection in Toronto). They had to custom-measure my calipers so probably the first time Variant has made rims for the 718 Spyder.

If you are looking at opinions, I like the original wheels better as the yellow calipers got more "pop". The bronze wheels hid the calipers. Assuming yellow = ceramic brakes?

Absolutely stunning color. I like the aggressive color, tank-like. Gives me an idea of doing green brake calipers with yellow lettering on my speed yellow 993!

To HK43, what tire brand did you go with? What is the tire size? I'm about to need winter wheels for a CPO Cayman GTS 4.0 heading my way. Thank you.

Beautiful car. I would go with the same green if I had had a PTS. I personally prefer the stock rims... I like the bronze but the design is a bit too busy for me.

Bearrun21 my specs were 245-35-20 & 295-30-20 Pirelli W240 SottoZero Serie II

Thanks, yes I love the colour! Yes, redtoy4unner the yellow calipers are PCCBs. I like the flash and structure of the bronze as a change from the sleek satin platinum but deciding which I like better.. hard call!

For a full-on winter tire these are incredible! I had them on my Boxster GTS and they made winter almost disappear!

This time around I went with a UHP All-Season tire for winter use as we don't see much snow here and I decided that the Spyder was going to stay home on snow days.

Great to hear! Will give them a good test once the snow arrives!

love the bronze wheels. I vote to change the summer wheels to bronze. But what do I know. Looks great!
