Great pictures. Bold colors such as Racing Yellow and Guards Red really seem to suit the 991.

No, they don't get caught in the treads. A few may stick to the tyre surface when the tread face is hot but after a couple of rotations of the wheels as I move off they go back on the drive.

The wheels are nice, not to mention the whole treatment. Are those factory rims?

Noticed the clear side markers... are those standard in the UK?

Yes, standard Carrera S 20" wheels in the factory painted gloss black finish. Clear side markers are standard fit in the UK.
