The ride is a little firmer, but it was too soft to begin with. An independent shop I'm friendly with was kind enough to indulge me in playing around with the PIWIS. It took a lot of trial and and a fair amount of error to make it right.
I prefer some delineation by stripe vs. all black wheels. As far as cleaning, stock pads are dirty. I have swapped out oem pads on my Box S and Turbo to Disc Italia ceramics. After about a 500 mile break in/cleaning period, 90% less dust and a light gray/brown vs. black—I can go a week without losing my mind and when cleaning, very easy with a spray detailed. If ant Turbo owner needs a set of 5k mile oem F&R pads for cheap, let me know...
I love the 21’s with performance summer tires. I went with another set of aftermarket 20” for winter.
The gloss black is gorgeous, they are easy to clean, but you have to do so with care as scratches and gloss black do not mix.
Tires are considerably more expensive in 21” diameter. All worth it IMHO.
This is not a direct answer to the question, but related. My white Macan GTS came with polished 21" Turbo wheels with summer tires mounted. And it looks good. This past summer I bought a set of pre-owned 20" black RS Spider wheels with all-season tires mounted on them to use for the winter. I had been looking for a *winter* set, but I found these from someone who would ship them, they looked in great shape, and at a reasonable price so I bought them. We've started to have some really cold days in the NE so this past weekend I swapped them. I am really happy with the look of the wheels contrasting with the white car. I like the look so much I might even consider leaving them on year round. I'll wait and decide in the spring.
Looking at these photos, I am 100% convinced that the Sport Classics with the silver lip just doesn't look as good on the Viper Green. It works perfect for the the silver and darker colors though.
