Default Panamera 18" 5 spoke on a 928 (center cap pic added)

Today I installed a set of 18" Panamera 5 spoke wheels I put on a set of Hankook V12 tires;

Hereby some pictures viewing from different angles and a comparison chart from the standard 928GTS wheels versus the Panamera wheels.

Chart one on the left has the 17" factory wheels and tires I selected
Chart two on the right has the 18" Panamera wheels and tires I selected

I love them. Very modern look and frames the brake discs nicely!

Which center cap is that? Hard to see in the photo.

There is a stock front 928 wheel that is 8" ET60. These wheels are only 1mm away from that, almost perfect! These wheels have a bit more substance than Carrera III wheels, but still look very good.

I found that the regular 928 center caps in my case the ones out of the 17" GTS wheels (metal) ones work just fine with these wheels versus the plastic ones that came with the Panamera wheels

I have the sport classic 2-18 factory Porsche BBS, but i wanted those panamera wheels. The Panamera wheels do you use the same lugs?How much did you pay for them? Thanks

What I like is that they dont look like an aftermarket rim.
They look like they could have been on the car from factory, that is we keep how old our cars are a secret

I really like my Panamera 10-spokes.

I was a bit freaked out when they wouldn't go on the front hubs, though. Turns out the centercaps touch the grease cap. With those off they fit great.

A problem? Nope. I'm using the Panamera wheels on the track!

Another nice choice. Ive been eyeing them for a while. Very affordable (5 spoke) and the fitment is sweet. Good Job on the photos.

I had the same problem with my 996 wheels (see avatar). I just flattened to dome on the grease cap. There is still plenty of clearance under the cap.
