Way too busy for me, the less spokes the better.

More interesting is the brake behind it. Looks like that might be that new "in between" brake that's currently only on the Cayenne.

Might still be called that but this would definitely be an evolution of the current wheel. Many more squared edges and I don’t like it nearly as much (and I don’t really like the current version).

Indeed. Very intrigued by this new brake offering. Less dust & perhaps better performance without the pitfalls of PCCBs (upfront cost, replacement cost, risk of chipping, etc.).

Exactly - thank you. Looks like 20" only and made for Macan. I'm not sure if they'll fit on a 997.2

Love the wheels, the brakes, the side markers, the door handles. A lot of great things from the side profile. Then, you see that front and rear bumper and it's a big nope from me.

My wife's Macan has those wheels. Takes me longer to clean those freaking wheels than the whole car.

But if it's the new brakes, then like PCCBs, there is much less brake dust to deal with. Makes complex wheels at least a little more interesting

Don't love the door handles. Maybe I need to see them in person. A bit tired of "over meshed wheels" too. Maybe I'm having a bad day.

I humbly disagree and shall decree that anything less than 5 spokes is too few.
