Very expensive would be one way of putting it

Their base motorsport rim is the t66f, here's a link to the page showing sizes/offsets/weights of their standard wheels to give you a better idea. (Not sure if you can read Japanese and their website is a bit confusing)

Its pretty much everything I hoped it would be.

Cheers,

Brad

Yes the wing is being done.

Let me get the car back first before I say who it is or not.

Its a 5 day wrap!!!!!

P.S.
A club mate got 18" onto his 981 Cayman S with PASM. Used 6mm spacers. I will do test fit on the weekend if I get time.
Anyway lets go to the specific thread re this;

Hey guys, what do you think of the resale on this car here? I am unsure about how the GT4 will fare going up the blue stone entrance to my street. My later GT3s needed front lift to get up here, and I had a 996.2 GT3 that couldn't get up here at all. Even my neighbour's GranTurismo scraps the front unless he crawls at an angle and that isn't such a low car. I'm in two minds whether I should stick to my GT4 order or switch to a Spyder. I could take the risk and pick up the GT4 and see how I go if resale here is like the US where I won't have an issue selling it for what I paid for!

Oh and hi Roders, good to see you here too.

GT4 looks about 5mm higher than the GT3. Im even thinking to raise the GT4 10mm.

Hi Way.....

I'm sure you wont find any issues reselling a GT4 here either.
Lots of demand with little supply

Ok, so got the GT4 back.
Carmine RED with gloss film looks freeking AWESOME!

For those that asked, its Suntek film. Much less noticeable than Venture Shield.

Interesting read here about Cayman black:

http://www.motoring.com.au/news/2015...ck-again-54384

Main reason for posting though, is that it mentions 140 GT4s have been ordered into Australia and that we have only 70 allocations. Most up to date numbers I have seen.

This article includes the source of the 140 orders, but also commentary from Porsche that they "hope" to fulfil all 140 orders.
