Thank you!!
Yes, GT Silver is certainly my fave!! My 2nd one now.
Yeah the 5 lugs grew on me. I'm happy with it.

They are straight up.
I was selling a car so couldn't make the move just yet.
I did sell my car and found another TTS.
your car is beautiful, love the interior. wish you the best!

Thank you for that. I keep hearing good things about them too. I"m very happy to know they have such a great rep.
I wasn't sure in the beginning but once I drove out there and saw the dealership and how nice everything was, I knew they couldn't be that successful without doing good business.

Thanks again!! Glad you found another nice TT S!!

OMG People!! THIS CAR!!!!!!!



Just got back from the mountains for my "Shakedown" of the new TTS. WOW!!!
It truly is amazing how much better of a car this is than my old 997.2 TTS.
Totally not discounting how great that was, but wow.
SO MUCH more confidence inspiring of a car.

Fantastic. Maybe a set of BBS F1 R. I'd also paint the exhaust section of rear bumper satin black - makes the car look wider

SWMBO ordered in BBS F1 R for he 991. They arrive next week . Will post a pic.

I'll have to wait on expensive wheels...lol. Stretched thin with this car and the Ferrari at the same time. When the Ferrari goes then I can loosen up a bit.

The body color rear center section is a factory option on the build list of this car. I kinda like the clean look personally. I understand about the black though.

Thanks!

You might consider powder coating the current wheels as a fairly low cost intermediate step... Although it was done by the previous owner, t's shocking how much it changed the look with my stock Turbo S wheels, IMHO for the positive...

Actually I have a friend with a Factory Set of Black wheels Just like mine on my car now with a set of new PS4S's already on them for decent price.

What would you think of them??

Always good to have a second set of wheels and they are different to change the look when you want to......if the price is reasonable......

I think the black wheels and black accents looks absolutely perfect with my Agate Grey, and think it also would be a great combo with the GT Silver...

Maybe he can let you mount 'em up so you can decide if you like them? I think machined silver to black in the same wheels would change the look more than a spoke pattern change in the same color.

Either that or save for a nice and lighter aftermarket set. Either way, I need to chill and enjoy that car as is for a bit. Then start mods.
