Default My RS 4.0

In my dreams, from configurator now up on PorscheUSA's website. $325 extra for black wheels.

Same tire sizes as GT2 RS & 3.8 RS: 245/35 front on 9''x19'' wheels,
325/30 rear on 12x19.

Personally, I like the white better with white or silver wheels. Black wheels would probably look better if you could get graphics delete.

I like it as is - with stripe and with black wheels. I think black wheels look good on a white car. Maybe too blackt out on a black car.

Why no PTS?

Would be great to have a choice of only historic Porsche colors.

Viper Red
Signal Yellow
Riviera Blue
Mexico Blue
etc.

A missed opportunity IMO.

I would order white, no stickers

Paint mirrors, endplates, front fish lip, wheels red

Wrap top of wing in fake carbon fiber

Remove plastic number plate

Tell no one I got a 4.0

Show up to Sebring......have Peter and Erik confused why I am faster and not a better driver

Here's white with silver wheels. Can't get the configurator to show a graphic delete. Also shows some scaffolding, which would be nice to spec on US cars.

Not feeling the black wheels with the decals. Silver wheels look good

I think Red wheels would complement the decals and other details well.

wheel color is the easiest thing to change aftermarket for sure...500 bucks at a decent paint shop

mine would be black/ black wheels, 2 tone black and red full leather (more alcantara that way)
