Someone please confirm these are not officially a Porsche product?
Someone wasn't minding the corporate image when those gawdy b@stards were sent though to production.
"Fugly" is the word.

That must be the "Mr. T" or "Flav-o-Flave" option. (not sure how to spell it)
Those are blingier than the gold BBS and annodized body emblems of the '80s!

I'm delighted to be in your good company, Pete. As you well know, there are times when, quite simply, no other expression will do.
This is one of them.
The only antidote for these wheels is to charge the buyer no less than $20k for the "exclusivity" that ownership of this "option" implies. Only THEN will there be any justice.
Just picture the pitch:
Senior salesman: "Here we have the best of the best, the latest, greatest, superest duperest 911, and on this special edition example, the exclusive 'Big P option' wheels".
Customer nods knowingly, stroking what would be his beard, if he had one: "I'll take two."
Junior salesman (approaches senior salesman and whispers): "Why did you call it the 'Big P option'?"
Senior salesman: "Because it would have been impolite to have called it the 'Big Pr!ck Option' to his face."
