Nice looking wheels, might be a little big to use as candle holders on the island.

It helps to have an understanding wife when it comes to bringing car parts indoors.

Freshly restored calipers:

Beautiful job with the brake caliper refinish! That's my next job.

Did you repair or replace anything else in the brake system while you we're at it?

Nice job. I did mine in red, but I farmed that out. I was going to powder coat them for durability but didn't want to go to the trouble of rebuilding them for that. Just got them painted. Then I sanded down the raised Porsche lettering and shot a couple coats of clear over them. Painted my rotor hats black, I hate rusty brakes.

Are you using any spacers on the rear with these wheels? If so, what size?

Looks very nice. I prefer the other Panamera wheels, 10 spoke, and will probably add those in the spring.

I didn't use any spacers. The wheels fit with plenty of clearance from the brakes.

I have D 90's currently and the tire options are slim for street tires. Do you happen to know what the weight difference is between a 16" and a the 18" of a Panamera.
The Panamera wheels make a 928 look a lot smaller

What are the offsets on the Panamera wheels? I've read lots of threads about proper front offsets being important to stability and handling.
