Louboutin's are not winter shoes! Red soles on a Pcar would be something, though.

Beautiful car !!! The color combo is perfect.
And yes, to me it looks better with the winter wheels.

These wheels remind of the (new) Porsche Classic wheel, I guess a 19" version of the old Fuchs...look nice to me!

Definitely a variation on the old Fuchs. Looks good.

Default Fuchs

I was going to order the new Fuchs like on the 50th Ann car but they want over $6200.

Yeah, Porsche's pricing is definitely targeted toward the "gotta have it" crowd. I recently went searching for a winter set to replace the factory 21" wheels on my Cayenne GTS. Porsche's prices for (admittedly high quality) cast wheels have them competing with some of the best forged options out there. I ended up going with a set of Forgelines--to my exact specs, of course.

The weak dollar might be part of this story too.

Do it! If you don't like them let's talk and I may pick them up from you. Maybe one of the less greedy dealers would charge you less? The only issue is that I wish they were 12" wide in the rear but they are 11"!

For the 930, I ordered the 17" version of the Fuchs (3 piece w/hidden bolts made in Canada using forgings and other aircraft alloys? By Fikse) with an absolutely custom backspacing in 11" and 9". I paid around $4500. Just perfect...

Price is from FUCH NA, not a dealer.
Not listed yet according to Suncoast.
