Tim, Good luck with your new 997, beautiful color combo.
Tried the wheel swap when I picked up my 06, dealer would not go for it, he did not want to bastardize one of his other cars and make them non-original, felt it would make the car he took the wheels off of harder to sell.

Congrats!

May be I was lucky -- When I got my new 07 997S, my dealer swapped the 19" Lobster wheels with a set of brand new 19" Carrera Classic wheels (with PS2 tires) from another 997S in the dealer, per my request.

My dealer only charged me $600 for the wheels, including labor and color center crests. I guess that was not bad, considered that it would cost me about the same money if I ordered the wheels and crests originally.

With best regards,
- Alex.

Default Any differences in 07 & 08?

My dealer told me no difference. So I opted for a 2007 which I got a pretty good discount on. Thanks.

Ouch, I got mine new, with the 19" lobsters. Drove the car for a couple weeks and strongly disliked the wheels (biatch to clean!!!) so my dealer swapped them out for 19" Classics and I only paid the price differential.... I think it was $550 Cdn total.....

What happened? I remember using a pic of your TT as my wallpaper for a couple of months since I was also going to order basalt. So you did not like the TT?
