Yes, those are factory 18" Panamera S wheels. 18"x8" ET+59 , 18"x9" ET+53. Almost perfect front offset for 928. I use 235/40 ,and 265/35 Dunlop on them. I got the wheels dirt cheap(250usd for 4 wheels) from a local wheel shop. They were from customer trade in for bigger wheel right after he took delivery of the new car.

Thanks~! I have my '89 S4 repainted in this Veilchenblau Metallic recently . This was a 911 colour in late 80's and I don't think it was available on 928. However I saw some late model GTS in similar colour, such as gisherton's GTS . Not sure if that came from factory or not though~

To answer your question regarding colour, my car actually came with this colour from the factory:
Paint code = 5757 (Violet Metallic Blue).
Looking at the pics of LMP's car, his certainly does look slightly darker than mine (and in much better condition) but that could just be light perception and possibly the fact that my car has spent the last 18 years in the Middle East sun so would have faded to some degree.
Mine is actually being resprayed in the original colour as we speak and i will send you a couple of pics once it is finished to compare the colour again.
In the meantime, i have included a couple more pics showing the car under different lights and the car appears different in shade on all three.
One thing is for sure, it is certainly quite a rare and very pretty (in my opinion) colour on a 928!!

Paint code for Veilchenblau metallic is 37E. Actually I have compared paint chip of both Veilchenblau and Violet Metallic Blue 5757 before respray. They both share a very similar tone and hue . 5757 has more greyish sheen while 37E is more saturated in colour. Both are very nice and unique colour for 928.
Cheers!
