Jerry, go to www.wheelenhancement.com there you will find a great selection of wheels for your C4S.
I have the HRE P40's and like the look, they are designed for your Porsche. Good luck

Got to agree with Bob in NY.

I've got HRE P40's on my car as well in brushed finish. Designed to fit our cars perfectly (including TPMS).

Is that a painted aero kit? The chin spoiler is painted? Amazing.

Thanks. Not the complete Porsche aero kit. It's a Porsche OEM GT3 front bumper (GT3 front bumper includes the vent cutout on the hood, aero kit doesn't have it), TechArt side skirts, and Rinspeed "Indy" rear bumper all painted to match (including the lower lip on the GT3 front bumper). Here's a shot of the rear bumper (I was never a fan of the bumperettes).

You certainly went the whole nine yards. And that's a better shot of the wheels.

I think 90% of US buyers would like to see Porsche go to a little more trouble with the bumperettes design (to delete them.)

Your car has me wondering what the "Cup" mirrors (snugged into the window frame) would look like on a Cabrio.

By the way "denatured" alcohol (any hardware store) will get rid of those unsightly yellow airbag notices on the sun visors.

Thanks for the tips on the "dentatured" alcohol. Got a project for the weekend

Agree on the bumperettes and what most of us think of them. Porsche probably isn't a fan of them either as you can see in the three pic's you posted above from Porsche, they deleted them from those pic's.

FWIW, my car is also lowered 15mm and I've got a RSS Plenum installed. I've got the full AWE exhaust sitting in my garage right now and will probaby install the mufflers and headers on in the next month or so (will probably hold off on installing the cats until my warranty expires in two more years).

So any thoughts on what wheels you are going with yet? Can't wait to see pic's. Love the color of your car.

Thanks. As "Points" says above, would love to see pic's of your car as it does sound "Sick" as well.
