The wheels are open for debate, however I think that the design in black matches well with the whole car and when the tyres are proper black the difference in size won't be that obvious I think.
However I found they were a steal compared to the expensive 21" Sportdesign wheels which I didn't like for the aluminium edge on the black design.
I might still consider to put some 21" HRE on the Panny when I am bored of the Turbo wheels
I am still not sure if I will have them painted in high gloss black or matte black, any suggestions on that part?

I like your thinking.
When the times comes to start talking about HRE's please send over a PM. I'll be able to provide you with details and pricing on all of HRE's wheel models

I may be biased, but I think that the 911 Turbo wheel design is hard to beat.
Ofcourse I am having second thoughts about the build
The color I am 99% sure that it will be Jet Black. But I find the SportDesign package not that obvious on this color, I have real trouble seeing on pictures if a new Panamera has the SportDesign package or not, especially when it's a dark color.
If I would delete the SportDesign package I would spec the PCCB instead, I still love the design and I believe it adds more to the car than the SportDesign package.
The reason of doubt is the car below, I absolutely love this build, and it seems it doesn't have the SportDesign package but it isn't missed I think? If I switch these options it will be a 100% match with the car below (only not a turbo ofcourse )
So some disappointing news, Just went to the dealership and received this email " PAG has advised options OP8 (Sports Exhaust System Including Tailpipes in Silver) and OP9 (Sports Exhaust System Including Tailpipes in Black) are causing production delays up to six months in relation to the currently listed completion date in PVMS."
So basically my vehicle build could be delayed unto 6 months cause of the damn sports exhaust. pretty annoying to say the least. I talked to my manager and they're looking into ordering the exhaust and retro fittings or just biting the bullet and possible getting a fabspeed or some other brand on there. Ridiculous that its delayed that much tho.
I also test drove the turbo (RWS) and the p4 (no rws). After about 15 minutes with both cars I can say I didn't notice a thing. Obviously the turbo was way faster but the merging in lanes at high speeds and cornering on ramps, barely felt anything. I also did a few u turns and at least 10 mins separate just parallel parking them. I really wanted to feel it then but def didn't notice. I took a video of a park attempt here.
Thor and AJ are right about the u-turn on the regular steering, just awesome turning radius!!
OK-- more bad news but not really for me. My dealer also told me the 2018 ehybrids won't be EPA certified till December. So if anyone has builds coming to the states sooner they'll just end up sitting at port till December. This is what my dealer has said so can't confirm for sure but he's an awesome guys and has no reason to lie to me since I don't want my car till December anyways. (obviously this only affects the US)
Yeoris- I agree that if you are going for a black car (especially with black wheels) the PCCB make more visual impact than the Sport Design kit (which I agree is a bit lost on a dark colour).
