here is my Ruby Star Neo Carrera T with silver and black rims in the day time and night/overcast day.
I’ll personally think that most colors will look great with black, silver, gold, grey wheels, this skittle colored car definitely looks classy with both black and silver
But - Can I assume you have Front Axle Lift,because in the first pic the gap between wheel and arch is bigger than in the 2nd pic?
thank you kindly for the congratulations! I appreciate it greatly!
I do have the lift but I am pretty sure it’s not activated, I try to make sure it’s not on when parked.
this is the gap you get with 19/20 inch wheels for the silver vs 20/21 inch for the black
I really want those ED wheels!! Has modern Fuchs-vibe to them. I didn’t spec them though because based on Carrera T pics I’ve seen so far, they only seem to work on silver, white, black or similarly neutral colors mainly because of the T’s agate grey mirrors that seem to clash with the bright ED wheels on any skittles-colored T. I went with Carmine and at least with Carmime, it seems I’m better off sticking with either of the other 2 titanium grey wheel options so that they at least sorta match the agate mirror covers. But on your GT Silver, the ED wheels look absolutely perfect! Enjoy.
I agree 100%. Looking at these silver cars with ED wheels makes me second guess myself 🤣. The ED wheels on this color is just perfect.
I just couldn't fall in love with ED wheels with my Guards Red in the configurator so I went with the stock wheels... But I bet the ED wheels probably look awesome in real life on GR also.
Just out of curiosity how many here have used the above and what where the results in the end, if any?
The result will be felt +100,000 km later. So if its a flipper people justify their own methods, but if its a keeper, people tend to follow the Owners Manual.
We are in Sanford (Orlando area) but serve clients from all over the state (and beyond)! Feel free to come visit if you're up this way, we're about 2.5-3 hours from Palm Beach.
Sanford a very nice train station. The Amtrak Auto Train. My wife and I have used many times traveling from the north to Florida, nice overnight sleepers and will transport as the name implies, your auto. It’s a good alternative for seeing the country if you have the time vs flying. Take your Porsche with you!
Does anyone have photos of the interior with lizard green stitching? What paint colors does this go well with? I would be happy about photos
There's a few pics of those on this very thread, but not easy to find because you'd have to sift through 1400+ pages and over 21k posts and sadly, the search function doesn't do a very good job of finding actual photos.
Personally, I think the lizard green stitching looks amazing, but only on certain neutral colors like silver, grey, black, and white, and obviously any green exterior, which is no longer available on the T. Might pass with racing yellow exterior as well.

My dad and I on all our Porsches have done this. We never get oil leaking out, the engine seems to have a better response, and what happens is an almost negligible gain after break-in, probably because the friction is less than when new right out of the factory.
From my understanding, the biggest reason for a break-in period is to break in the engine, AND the transmission. We also need to bead the breaks.
I have a suspicion it's hard on the Transmission not just the engine, if you go pedal to the metal right out of the dealership. Of course, we don't have concrete evidence that it helps, or harms to do a break-in period or not.
What we do have is a manual that tells us to do a break-in period.
As people here have said, the Break period might be a way to make sure we don't kill ourselves in a brand-new sports car, and get used to the car's power and handling at low RPMs, but that is again just speculation.
Porsche Experience Center Atlanta does an even harder break-in than any of us For all cars, they do 0-0-500 mile break-ins, on the track, and then they beat them up on the track. They have yet to have had a single one have an issue from the hard break-in in the 15 years from who I talked to had worked there.
So It is up to you, to
Do the Porsche Guru break-in,
Do the factory break-in,
Do no break-in,
Or never run your car over 5k RPMs (even though it would be a shame).
At the end of the day, for everyone reading this and wondering how to break in the car. It is your car. Do what YOU feel most comfortable doing.
Just remember it is a sports car built with the track in mind, so it is robust. I will always vote for the Porsche Guru's Break-in. (If you still cannot decide )
I just want to reiterate that this diagram is specifically for GT cars.
It was made for GT cars originally, but that was when the R or something came out. Where it had very special break-in instructions.
Break-ins on the GT3 992 were fewer miles, and I am pretty sure you had access to the rev range up to 7000, but there was a limiter till the miles reached 900 or something.
It will not hurt your engine to do this break-in.

Scroll up a few pages, some one just posted pictures of the lizard green stitching. #21261
@Scott P I just got a numeric short shifter, Porsche of Albuquerque installed it and it does not void my warranty. for the installation and part it totaled 1k. I got a sport shifters shift ****, and installed it my self, so if anyone needs help with that I have a video showing how easy it is to replace.
