The wheels look modern/stock (as does the car itself, especially with the wing delete). I love the look. Can't wait to see it with the upgraded mirrors.

Paul-
How do they look on the other side?
I'm usually not a fan of the "wagon wheel" look, but I have to admit those look pretty damn nice.

Andrew, you dog, you just had to go there. I alluded to the "mucho-necessary body work" in the initial post, so what if 90% of what's needed is on one side. Speaking of body work................hows that man-boob thing going these days

Chuck, I believe that the market will raise the price in the near future. I just happened to be the first to try them and now that others see them they'll start to sell for more because of demand. And again, there will be only a limited amount of Panameras equipped with that wheel coming into the states. People are starting to gravitate to 19" wheels and are also looking for more aggressive (10" & 11") rears, so some would probably ignore them for that reason alone. Me, I'm just a 63 year old guy who cruises, so I can get along with the 9" rear wheel. BTW, I am a fan of the Panamera, and am looking forward to seeing yours tricked out when you get it.

Love the wheels and the whacked wing. I have been thinking of a '78, but realized I could get much of the same thing by removing the wing from my S4. Your's may be the first with those wheels, but I suspect it will not be the last.

I like that.
I like some of the more recent Porsche wheels on our cars like those 5-spoke 997 wheels.
The front looks like a tight clearance. At 8" and 59mm I figured it'd clear by more. Pinky width clearance?

SO,
Now that you have fitted a 235 on the front in your opinion is there room for a 245?
I would be very interested in these as a backup set of wheels for track use and if I can go 245 front and 275 rear that would be fantastic.
Nice job and thanks or being on the pointy end of the spear.
