Default 18" panamera wheel pics please

Has anyone mounted these Panamera Take-offs on their car yet and have any pictures? RL search suggests they fit but am wondering about aesthetics. Thanks!

I can tell you they look great!
I have pics but don't have permission to post them.
Hopefully the owner will post 'em up. Great guy!

BTW, they offsets are fantastic, and the 9" rear is perfect for 255's or 265's (which is plenty of rear rubber for a stock 928).

Not the same wheels, Paul. His link suggests the 5-spoke variety.

I was looking at those wheels last winter. They were selling on Ebay for 450$-500$ if I remember correctly...

Hi Jim. The 5-spoke must be 2011 wheels 'cause mine were the base 2010. Hadn't actually seen those before and yes, they do look nice. The pic looks like those spokes extend out quite a bit at the mid and center areas. Would these be a biatch near curbs or is this an optical illusion?

Not sure, but I bet they're easy to clean! I LOVE 5-spokes!

Thanks for the feedback folks. Would appreciate a picture for sure if anyones got them mounted.

Paul, LOVE the 10 spokes.. Our thoughts are the same about the spokes sticking out a bit too far. But the price is right for this set of rims.

BPG: Not to hi-jack this thread, but I'd be interested in seeing pics of your rear seat delete (as well as your Champagne sport seats) PM me please if you'd like, or post them here. Thanks

Wow the 5 spokers do look good. Any more pics of the 5 spoke wheels? The 10 spokers seem to be harder to find.

Just picked up the new wheels. Replied to a CL ad and found that our Austin P-car dealership was selling them as take-offs. $350 for the wheels and tires, all with 30 miles on them! (also equipped with TPMS sensors..) They had to make some space apparently. Rubber is Pirelli P-zeros. A bit big from what I've been reading.
fronts are 245/50 R18
Rear 275/45 R18

Paul, PM sent.

DUDE-That is a steal. I've seen sets like that on Ebay where the BIN is $2000-3000. Usually no TPMS included.
