Ringmeister, great car!!
Does that turquoise have a bit of metallic in it??
Amir, having very low miles and looking original, i would assume the wheels are the original 18s, as that is how all of the 4Ss were equipped. (solid spoke)

It came with the 18" wheels (solid spoke) and tires but since I planned to drive it all year round I bought a set of 17" knockoffs with Dunlop Winter Sport M2s. I threw them on while I sent out one of the rear wheels for refinishing (had mild curb rash). I'll take a pic with the 18's back on, I agree, it looks way better with 18"s.
The color is indeed Blue Turquoise (no metallic) solvent base coat clearcoat. Even the seller thought it was Riviera blue but the paint code comes up correct. Riviera is really a lot lighter, almost a baby blue. Seinfeld has a Riviera Blue 993 tt.
As for lowering, yup I like the look much better but as it is the ground clearance isn't exactly "snow friendly" here in New Jersey. Forget making it stiffer as well, the roads here suck. The ride and handling seems pretty spot-on for street use especially compared to the GT3 which can be like a buckboard. That car will be pretty much track only.
The German customs plates on the GT3 are from my Euro delivery last May. Had a blast and spent two weeks at the Nurburgring breaking it in.
Now all I need to find is a 964 C2 in Rubystone Red to complete the collection of wild colors.
As for price, please don't think I'm a di** for not telling. Just that I can get fickle if I see something else I like and I might decide to sell it. Suffice to say I had a couple offers in the low to mid 60k range. It would be a nice profit but I can't think of anything I would rather have for the money so I'm going to enjoy it for now.
Here's a couple more pics of the GT3 doing what it was build to do:
