@Barkat03 I feel the same pertaining to the RS wheels. I am extremely OCD about my vehicles, therefore I am the only individual that washes and details them so the concern that it would take exceptionally longer to clean the RS wheels than the entire vehicle would be alarming,

I’m also getting white rather than the GT Silver I had last time and I think the spider wheels look great with white, but the thought of cleaning them scares me - must take ages??

do it ! Honestly for the price point idk if you can get a better upgrade , originally I was gonna do the standard wheels in black but those rs wheels are just too good and I wanted a wheel I wouldn’t want to replace . Of course I already started searching for next springs wheels

Still looking for a 992 T Hot Wheel. Hope they make one. In the meantime, picked up a GT3 RS and a couple GM cars my Bro designed back in the day. The Salsa had an inflatable roof, ha. Crajee designers….

The reality is that it was absolute rubbish - they didn't have my tags ready despite having 5 months, 1 week, and 1 day to get them in time. I also got ripped off on track time. But let's skip to the good stuff - the car is awesome. I bought this car despite never having driven a 911 and now I get it - I get why people love them. It's a joy to operate every control in the car, and to listen to it snarl. We started with 11 miles on the car (18 km) and put over 2300 miles on it the following 15 days. We dropped it off this past Wednesday & returned home just after 12:30am yesterday (after a hellish 19.5 hour odyssey) and of course now I'm stalking the car via an AirTag (and wondering YTF it's been sitting in Dusseldorf the past 36 hours!). Ok, enough talk for the moment - you want some pix:


Hmm, why is there one car left at the end of the day? Apparently just one unlucky bastard got no tags on 8/22 - thanks, Leipzig factory team!
Congratulations on the end of one odyssey. The car looks awesome, hopefully there was enough good on the trip to offset the bad…

@TUD Thanks. No question the spiders look superb.
Now just need to balance that against the aggro of cleaning them.
Tough one🤔

Plus ceramic coating them helps a whole lot. I didnt get them on the T as I had them on my 992S but kinda wish I got 'em again. Best looking option by far

You are welcome. I am in the same boat as you, yet I am leaning with the camp that finds them to be a PITA to clean.

A ceramic coating certainly helps, but it does not alleviate not having to clean them, especially in all the nooks-and crannies. Plus, every few years it has to be reapplied.

Do you have any more pictures showing your Yellow interior or did you only do Yellow for the belts?

So which is it? Was it not bad or did it take you 30 minutes? It can't be both. Lol.
