Yes I bought it new and ordered it from Porsche. Car now has 25,000 miles and is six years old. Here's the main spec's..
Artic Silver Metallic
Cocoa Special Leather
Carbon Fiber Package
Fabspeed stainless steel headers, mufflers
200 Cell Cat converters
Carbon Fiber heat shield
Air intake with cone filters
ECU upgrade
Parrott Bluetooth
Satellite Radio
Painted "color to match" lower ground effect panels
Clear Bra
Stuffed animal
I plan on holding on to this one...but can't wait to see the 991 Turbo coming next summer.
I'll try to send more photos.

Especially in that color. If it were lowered a bit and some spacers added front and rear it would look even better! But of course that's my opinion. But then again your spoiler lip wouldn't stay as pristine..
Beautiful.. Love the retro look...What do those weigh compared to the OEM?

Sweet.. That's going to look amazing. You will have very unique TT. And that's a good thing!
I did 15 mm on the rears after lowering and haven't done the fronts.. With the stock wheels I'm no too convinced it needs it (the fronts.) Plus it means another alignment. I will hold off on that.. Have a great weekend!!

Bob, love the look, really do...looks perfect on that beautiful cobalt tt.
Btw, did you sell the Corvette and got the AMG instead? Or is there a car missing in your sig ?

Sold the Corvette to someone that wanted it more than me. The MB I've owned since new in 08 as my daily driver although not an E63 just the factory AMG option package.

I found and read that thread as well, very eye opening. I also read many more and just spent an hour on the phone with 2 wheel dealers talking ADV wheels. From what I can glean it seems that ADV has secured TUV certification for their manufacturing process much like HRE. and based on the conversations I had it sounds like ADV does test each wheel design to spec to ensure quality but they don't certify each design with TUV do to excessive cost, again neither does HRE.
As for weight, we all know 3-piece wheels are heavier than monoblocks. I still need to do some digging but ADV offers concave and deep concave setups. The concave is shown on the GTR and photoshop turbo and I was told by one of the dealers it is 2-4 lbs heavier per wheel vs OEM depending how wide you go (i.e 19x11 vs 19x12). However the deep concave designs are even heavier so I think those are definitely a nonstarter and I would likely just stick with the regular concave
Anyway still learning so continue to share guys

This can be in the form of ISO 9000, QS/TS, or actual in-person audit by the TUV.
Numerous companies claim CERTIFICATION, but it just aint so. Wheels get certified, not companies.

Like the wheels Bob, congrats.
Have you considered painting the centers to match like they did in the 911s of the past? especially in bright colors like yours...
Crude rendering I know but I am not a photoshop user.
And another customized version of a cobalt car with cobalt wheels... I reeeeally wanted that car. but as off budget at the time... Its a 2009 with barely 4-5k miles.

LoL Nick! I think the blue hint on the OEM wheels looks better. I'll stick to black for now...

Thanks phillipj! FYI anyone can get that sort of finish (mine are polished lip with centers painted body color if it isn't apparent), just call up Champion direct, they can do everything you want and ship direct. They do such a good job it's hard not to recommend them.
