I'm on my third car with Satin Platinum wheels. I thought the fact they're nearly brake dust coloured was a feature. Mine never looked dirty.

agree. That’s why I went with satin platinum wheels on my last 3 Porsches.

Then when you open the app connect the camera to the car’s network. Anyway there’s a thread about it here on RL somewhere with more details if you search..

Thank you for the pointers!

Glad to exchange few mph with certainty of not flipping over moving the wheel at high speed

How about you taking a "REALLITY PILL".

Go and see any upholstery at your place and see if they charge you 65$ for these two straps.
I highly doubt that. I could get them here for around 20€ in better quality and customized.

If you "ALL" (as your speaking for everybody here, that would also include me) appreciate what "GERMANDUDE" is doing here, go ahead.....

But don't count me in. I Know "GERMANDUDE" and I also know what he's been doing and is doing in Germany.
Free World, free will, my opinion, for everybody to consider or to ignore.

I could, easily, but I didn't make the offer, because anyone can get them faster at you local upholstery. It's just a strap with a stitching.

A questo punto mi domando dov è il tizio che vaneggiava sulla pioggia di quote rifiutate da Porsche China ?
