Thanks for the feedback, P; I agree with the dual-look concept, I'll leave my PS2s on the Sport Designs (which are no fun to clean). I really like the Carrera S 5-spokes, but I was so excited to get my car last February that I didn't feel like waiting an extra week to swap the wheels... <g> Now, I will have both. Since my winter tires will be on for about 5 months, I didn't want to go with anything less than a 295 in the rear - and the BMW is standing by for those serious snow days.

Also, having the Sport Designs off during the winter will give me plenty of time to get about 5 coats of Rejex on the entire wheel... it works wonders for rejecting brake dust.

And we're going to be putting those wheels on pretty soon from the looks of the forecast! Damn, I'm not ready for winter yet...

The other option to consider if you want the 19" Carrera S wheels ......last winter Porsche were offering a package of those wheels, pre-fitted with Continental winter tires (and either with TPMS fitted or without). Not 'cheap' but easy. If you have TPMS on your car, and buy new wheels without TPMS, the monitors can be fitted if they are OEM wheels, if not they 'may' be able to be fitted. I got my Carrera Classics off eBay and had the dealer fit the monitors and tires.

Good luck and happy 365 days driving !!
