Default New PTS TTS

My new one. 10 months in the making. This is the only pic as I get the car tomorrow for a bit before she goes back for exhaust tint etc. Many thanks to the people here and in the other areas of rennlist for ideas. Ice blue metallic. HRE P200. Brushed clear finish. 21s. Wheels Boutique incredibly helpful and highly recommended (no affiliation just a very happy customer).

Exciting, congrats! I like the 21's and also the Aerokit - looking forward to see more pics including the interior!

Fantastic, classic color. Well done!

I also ordered a set of HREs through Wheels Boutique as well for my Turbo, which arrives in May. I've been very happy so far with the experience.

Nice color (and car)! I ordered my wife a PTS ICE BLUE Metallic Targa 4s - same interior color as yours as well - arrives late April. Should look pretty nice.

Default tire choice

Nice car, great color and great looking wheels!

I notice the tires are Pzeros. Did you have other choices for tires on the 21s? I've considered 21 inch HREs for my recent Nardo Grey TTS but could only find Pzeros as an option. Many more choices in 20 inch tires. Also, the wheel arches still aren't filled out as much as on the GT3RS which would only happen if the car is lowered and thus compromising ride quality.

Appreciate your thoughts and experience.

Thanks everyone. Always loved this color.
Tires - only choice was P zero. And it was not easy at that time to get them. If you find other choices let me know. Your Nardo is amazing. My dealer spec'd one for inventory (delivery late this year) the same exterior wise but your interior is one of a kind. Lots of opinions on Lowering. I did it to a 2014 won't do it again. A lot of people like it. I didn't care for it.
I plan to add mesh grills in front once they are offered and my sharkwerks goes on next week.
Thanks again to everyone here for ideas.

RS is obviously lower, but the higher sidewalls on the RS also fill out the wells.

Totally agree on being anti-drop. Dropped Turbos look incredible, but personally I've decided not to do it with my car. The overall package just suffers. I might consider doing it with full coil-overs, but I've never been satisfied with swapping springs on stock dampers. And I don't see myself putting coil-overs on a car like this.

I'm guessing your offset was designed with you maintaining stock ride height? That's what HRE is doing with the 20s I've ordered -- hoping it works out well.

I'm going 21's also (HRE P101's), unfortunately there are no other tire options. Even these are hard to get, which is a bit concerning....

Yes my Height is stock or marginally lower (may be an optical illusion). Dealer is storing my stock wheels and tires and I'm considering getting a front and a rear tire just in case I take a nail etc.
