I got them with my 2015 4S as my summers and really like them.

Typically Porsche sells wheel and tire packages for less than the wheels themselves. It's been this way for a while, which is why we list the packages and not the wheels alone. We can certainly order a set of wheels without tires, but you'd essentially be paying more and receiving less.

Let us know if we can help

Thx for the info. I guess the package also eliminates a tire shop screwing up your wheels. Bolt on and roll.

I have sport technos also and noticed the different tires size in the back. Any issue with getting MPSS tires when I replace. I would prefer the supposedly quieter ride

I ordered my MPSS in late March from Tire Rack. Received tires last week. You should order well before you need them. 245/35 and 305/30.

Those are the wheel offsets.

What size tires do you currently have? Should be the sizes I noted. Replace with same.

Do these rear tires (305) wear faster than the 295s

Tire wear is directly proportional to right foot pressure, regardless of sizes.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone know of these are available for 992?

My Sport Techno's were originally all silver but I had a local wheel shop paint the inner pockets black. I think it contrasts with the Carrera White really well.

Love my technos - easy to clean, widest (but not the lightest), show off the calipers best, and I believe the only 991.1 wheel style to come standard with colored crests.

And while looks are subjective and the SPs tend to be especially polarizing, I’ve wanted nothing else ever since I saw them for the first time on Keanu Reeves’ black 991.1 4S Coupe many moons ago (not my picture).
