Nice round number, the only black 911_50 in Indonesia.
Production completion was from week 38, landed on 8/Nov.

The black is very nice. I didn't get black because it's available on any 991. The other 2 colors are unique. Also,black is very hard to keep clean. But, it does look good.

Congrats, Pyramid! Awesome number - were you able to Z-option request it, or just luck?

The black was not mine, the geyser grey in front of it was.
All nice numbers were requested/offered, not random luck.

After seeing all those 3 available colors, I have to agree the black is actually the nicest in all lighting condition.

I love the wheels, the chrome stuff on the back may be something I will have to see in the flesh to embrace fully.

A few photos of my 2 week old 911-50. I seem to be the third individual with a BMW 1M Coupe as well. Are there any other 911-50 owners out there with 1M coupes?

Hi dash 911, I posted a pic of my 991_50 and VO 1m on the 50th registry thread.. Seems that great minds think alike. I was going to sell the 1m but it is such a great car for the money, really nice linear car to drive, so maybe I'll keep for a while too. Enjoy the cars..

For the new owners, how do you think the wheels look on the car? To me, the lack of a dish to the wheel and the size somehow doesn't sit right with me. Not sure Fuchs-like styling works in this regard.

I own a 50 and the pictures don't do those wheels justice. I didn't like them on photos but they do look better on the car, and I think they have a good balance of retro and modern. No they're not dished in the classic sense, but I don't think any 991s have truly dished wheel. That probably has more to do with suspension geometry.

The rear wheels do have a nice concave look, which is great on the wide bodied car. Not much you can do with the fronts, especially with the huge 6 pot calipers.

Hi guys, I believe only 3 of us so far, dash have a nice selection of colors lol
Its funny the 1M only comes with 3 colors also, besides those exclusive colors for those BMW VIP customers, wonder if Porsche do the same and offer exclusive to those very very VIP customers with their choice of colors on the 50th??

The wheels are really one of the elements that made the car desirable for me. I just could not see settling for the standard fare found on the other Carrera models. They are every bit as cool in the flesh as in the pics, perhaps even more so. Up close, they are very rugged looking as well as stylish, which the original Fuchs were.

I would not have chosen the 50th without the wheels.

I should have noted they are much easier to clean than the wheels on the 40th.
