Default Wheel buying spree!

Have been looking for a set of boxster spyder/cayman r wheels since they came out and the right set finally fell into my lap from a fellow rennlister!

Then, while waiting for those to arrive, I saw a post from a guy selling a set of carrera s ii wheels painted Porsche seal grey for sale a few hours from in....how could I pass those up!?

So, now I have 4 sets of wheels total for the Cayman. How will I decide what to run!? Help me decide what to put on first! Cant wait for summer!

Looks like you scored the Cayman R wheels with the updated paint!

Personally I prefer the Spyder wheels but I am definitely biased.

Sharp looking Cayman.

Those are some nice looking wheels, they always say you have to strike while the iron is hot and it looks like you did Now you need a FK Wheel Tree for all those sets of wheels.

Those Carrera S II wheels would look sharp.
Personally, I'd use whatever wheels a set of NT01's would fit on.

Easy: Get a set of winter performance tires and have them mounted on whichever set of wheels you like least. Then you don't have to wait for summer. Use your car now on cold dry pavement. (I did this last week and I'm having a blast on my commute, Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie 2, thanks TireRack). Just can't see leaving the CS in the garage...

Like the wheel tree except when you read it and see it is for wheels 8 inches and less. Who has those?

We do offer one that will accommodate wheels up too 11.5 inches. For more information on the wider FK Wheel Tree Click Here.

I dont think NT01's come in 19", so they would't fit on either of these sets. I do have a set of 18" CS wheels that will possibly get a set of NT's when the PSCs wear out.

Yeah, I used to have a set of winters mounted but decided I didnt want to drive the Cayman in the winter anymore. Too much salt on the roads where I am at...even when the roads are dry, there is a layer of salt dust that gets all over everything. Winter is for my BMW
