Very nice and all the best with her. Curious, I noticed Bridgestones on this car, normally I see Michelin's and Conti's, are the Bridgestones common?

cowhorn, do the center caps match the inside portion of the wheel or are they silver? I have the same wheels but the center caps from the Carrera S wheels and they are off color to me.

The colored center caps that match the Sport wheels are painted GT Metallic Silver - part number 997 044 600 10. For all the other wheels the part number is 955 044 600 10. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, it's just what I needed. The dealer I bought the wheels from has been pretty unresponsive.

1. Right mouse click the file and select Open with Microsoft Paint.

2. Click on Image and select Stretch/Skew from the menu.

3. In the Stretch box just select the percentage reduction you want. Just make sure Horizontal & Vertical values are the same.

4. If the amount is not right, just Undo (Cntrl Z) and select again.

5. Do a File Save As with a different name to preserve your original file."


Good luck.
Yikes....that's complicated....here's a link to a little Microsoft power toy gem, called image resizer.....just right click any pic and select resize.

Yellow is becoming a very popular color again with Porsche. The rims are the most popular ones now, too. But what happened to your brakes? (Yellow to match?)

I needed a little color offset, so I opted for those red ones. Boy, do they work well.
