It's almost summer so I paid my dealer to swap my wheels/tires yesterday (I should get the gear to do the centerlocks myself someday) and I snapped a photo this morning when I picked up. Seeing the TTS next to that GT3 makes me want to lower it a bit.
Anyway, I've been dying to see it wearing the CF wheels - is it just me or are the wheel offsets just a little bit off?
Beautiful wheels. When you have time post some more pics please.
I would be afraid to lower mine as I need the ground clearance for driveways and speed bumps which are prevalent in my neighborhood. Even if I had a front lift it would suck as there are six humps getting out of my neighborhood to the main street.

My previous 911 was a 2017 C4S with SPASM and it would scrape all over the place - the TTS is a lot more forgiving but the tradeoff is it that rides a little high. I guess you can't have it both ways.
delivery day back in Feb 2019 cleaned the winter wheels today before storing them winter wheels now ready for storage lots of espresso leather espresso leather kills bugs fast another view carbon fibrous carbon fibrous love this car sporting a full jrod
Those CF wheels are cool...car sits up way too high....looks higher than most.
That's what I was thinking! The first delivery photo still has shipping pucks in place (so it doesn't count), and the other ones have a lot of shadow hiding the top of the tires but it still looks high. It also appears to be aligned with a lot of negative camber - is that normal?

Yeah it does - but I specced sunroof delete on purpose. I live in Seattle where we don't even remember what the sun looks like!

Loving my Sunroof delete too ! Clean look and no rattle potential.

More reason to have a sunroof! When the sun does peek out you let it all in! You know how it is in Seattle, people drop the top on the convertible in 50 degree weather as long as it is dry outside.
Really nice spec, congrats and love the sunroof delete (every 911 I've owned to date has been no sunroof). Digging the agate color and the CF wheels more than I thought I would, when I was hunting for a CPO TTS a couple months ago I was set on white! You get your car through Porsche Bellevue?

Yes - I ordered it through Porsche Bellevue sometime back in Sep 2018. Well, at least I think that's when the order was accepted - it took more than a month to just get an allocation confirmed. That gave me plenty of time to play around on the configurator; in fact I only made one change before the build locked-in (splurged on the leather air vent surrounds and slats after much waffling). It's so hard to be sure you're getting just what you want, but I'm really happy with how it turned out - and the car is absolutely flawless (perhaps that's one of the advantages of ordering near the end of the model cycle after they've worked through all the kinks, so I'll wait for a bit before I consider ordering a 992). https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0AD2A94KS140464/
I agree 100%. One of the first things I did was install Techart springs. The stance is perfect and the ride quality is just fine. I don't have FAL and have had zero issues with clearance. The front clearance of these cars with the front spoiler retracted is actually quite generous. Since you have the FAL I would say add these springs and you will love the ride height and will never need to worry about front clearance. Beautiful car btw. How much does Porsche charge for the Carbon Fiber wheels? I haven't seen those before.
