I've had the 10-spokes for about 4 years now and like them a lot. I would only offer that you consider the 5-spoke instead of the 10's as they are a bitch to clean and keep clean. I went conservative and have Hankook Ventus v12 evo2 with 245/40 up front and 255/35 in the rear w/ factory ride height. fwiw, the speedo was right on the money after putting these on.
Hi, these do look good IMHO, I am very interested to see a photo of the front wheel side on (down the side) to see how much it fills the arch?
Thats my 93 GTS (Avatar Pic) still have the wheels but they are now on the 88 Grand Prix White, no sunroof car. I got a set of Cup I with 928 offsets for the GTS. The wheels fit well and definitely give the cars a more modern look.
Edit: the tires are 235-40 fronts and 285-35 rears. Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S04s.
I think I know where you got those wheels Kevin...
Here's my 88 at the post office yesterday.
It has the same 18" ten spoke wheels.
The difference is they're chrome plated.
The chrome stays amazingly clean...
Mark - I have the "rougher customer" version of your '88 (5 speed, LSD, but still has the rear spoiler).
The Pana's are powder coated gunmetal and I put 20mm spacers on the rears. Should have been 15mm, as 20 required me to do a little persuasive fender rolling

Wow, J.P., that is indeed a tight fit.
I also have 20 mm rear spacers on mine.
I did not need to mess with the fenders.
Perhaps a previous owner already did.
I'm the third owner, so just not certain.
What size rear tires are those?
My rear tires are 265/35-ZR18's...
Hey J.P
That suspension looks REALLY low! What are you set at for height?
I'm at 155mm all the way around. It has the 928 SP Performance Sway Bars f&r, Konis w/Hypercoils and spends 90% of its time on the track, so no speed bumps, pot holes, dips or aprons to worry about. I could go lower, but I don't think there would be much benefit. Plus there's a little dip at the Karussel at Summit Point's Shenandoah where the p/s sway bolt scrapes at every pass - even with the height at 155mm.

Rears are 275/35 Proxes. I think that if I had gone w/ 265s, I probably wouldn't have had to roll the fenders. 275 were pretty much the widest that the wheel would take without adversely affecting the contact patch. If these Pana's only had 10" rears, they'd be perfect for our cars.
This link inspired me to source the 18" 10 spoke Panamera wheels for my '91 S4. Managed to get a set of black wheels in great condition from San Diego and sea freighted them to New Zealand which was surprisingly affordable (as were the wheels). I think black goes well with Amethyst - not sure if anyone would agree?
