Wheels came today, but work kept me from getting the car dropped off in time for them to get installed today

I have a 958 diesel (the 996 is hers), ordered it with the black trim, then installed the Turbo bumper and black headlights and tail lights.

They are a popular high performance tire and the type of car that you typically find them on is usually driven in the warmer months (and of course that is when the tires are meant to be used).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
50 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I'm still not sure the coloring suits our taste on a black car, but they look amazing.
if you need an Arctic silver 02 996 to see how these will look, I will drive to your shop this weekend and I will gladly showcase these wheels for you for free....really, you do not have to pay me 😉
figured you were using some sort of soff box lighting - they look good! and wheels too! i'm not a fan of aftermarket wheels but i have to tell you the wheels you promote look good and your business approach is stellar. i'm a retired fashion photographer and sit on the sidelines now - had fun in my day~! miss the hasselblad!
Thank you, your feedback is much appreciated, I'm certain you have done much more work over your career than we have so your comments are heavy coming from a man which such experience.
This look beats the Black wheel look every day of the week; every hour of the day; every minute of an hour; and every second of a minute!!!
Simply Sweet!
We shall see. We shall see
I've been after her for years to replace those peeling glossy things (I was never really a fan of them to begin with, but I am afraid it will look funny without them after all these years) and these rose to the level of her not finding it too objectionable if they appeared on the car.
So the baby is finally getting a new pair of shoes (just for you Schnelly
)
Thanks to Eli for the help getting it done
FWIW, while it might not be an exciting name, "Satin Platinum" sounds fine. It's descriptive of the product: platinum with a satin finish.
If you're looking for another name, you might want to give some thought to:
- Badassinum;
- Platisatin (check with your doctor before taking as frequent use may cause obesity in pregnant women, pink elephants (if taken with hallucinogens), infertility in post menopausal patients, and death;
- Thankfully Not Black or Silver; or
- Electric Boogaloo (might want to do a trademark check on this one first)
Great looking wheels! Oh, and no need to credit me if you use any of the names I've suggested.
-Eric
Dunno. Maybe I'll go with Bad *** Raptor
Why do wheels and tires have to be so damn confusing? I thought what we had now were 7.5x18 and 9x18, but the tire specs are 225/40 and 265/35 which seems to indicate they are 8 and 10" respectively. Near as I can tell those tires should fit the new wheels though so that will save me about $1k for new PS2s and I can't complain about that.
The wheel width and tire section width don't have to be the same. I'm not sure you'd want to mount a tire with an 7.5" section width on a wheel that's 9" wide but there is a degree of flexibility (it being rubber and all) that you can get away with when it comes to mounting different width tires. You might want to maximize the patch of tire that's on the ground but if you go too far, your tires will fall off. Too narrow and they'll stretch and eventually destroy your rim.
FWIW, I'm sorry to hear about your condition with the 265/35s -- there might be a cure for that. I thought non-wide bodies wore 285/30s in the rear.
As for PS2s, I was tempted by the dark side and opted for Sumis. I have no regrets...especially at less than 1/2 the price.
-Eric
Contrary to what TireRack says, the car came with Contisports which were utter crap (terrible ride and wear pattern). Since then we've had PS2s on it and never had a complaint other than the price. I've had too much trouble changing tires on other cars that I'm just sticking with what works for us regardless of the price.
When/If they ever kill off the PS2 line, then I'll **** and moan and find a new tire to use
I can't say that I blame you and, FWIW, I don't think there's anything negative that anyone CAN say about the PS2s (outside of the price). I've had them on or bought them for a number of cars. They're a phenomenal tire.
-Eric
Currently I daily a Michelin Super Sport on the 22" size and even though the cost is pretty close to a set of 19" wide-body.... I'm very satisfied with the tire, I've always been fond of the Michelin PS2 and Super Sports.
the michelin PS2's on my C4S have 9K miles and still have 75% remaining tread. why have they been difficult to find? - some fellow RLers having tough time locating a set.
I think it's timing. They are a popular high performance tire and the type of car that you typically find them on is usually driven in the warmer months (and of course that is when the tires are meant to be used).
In my experience trying to get a set in the middle of the summer can be a challenge, but if you need to buy a set in the winter it's a bit easier to find them. I attribute that to less people using them and therefore needing to replace them at that time of year.

Swung by on the way home to take a peak and they are sweet looking. Not sure if I'll like the look against a black car though. Might be too dark for our tastes.
Hmmmm... Wonder if they'd fit the P!g? That color would rock against its dark blue. Maybe I should give Eli a call Monday to see about some RS Spyders in this color
By PIG do you mean 917????
These will fit the 996, 928, 944 and 993 so you are in good shape all the same..
Can't wait to see photos, outside in the sun it will transform the look, inside they appear to be darker...
P!g is the pet name for the Cayenne. I have a 958 diesel (the 996 is hers), ordered it with the black trim, then installed the Turbo bumper and black headlights and tail lights. A set of the 20" RS Spyder wheels in this color would look spectacular against it's Dark Blue Metallic
I can't bring myself to stomach the cost of them (before any refinishing)
Bring them in or ship them in to us in So Cal (South El Monte).
The current lead time to strip, polish, clear and hard bake finish is 2-weeks.
Feel free to call for more details,
[phone removed]
We will be open again Monday!
Finally! Sorry for the delay.
I'm still not sure the coloring suits our taste on a black car, but they look amazing.
I'm shocked how much difference .5" of width on the front wheels makes to the steering feel. I've experienced that before, but that was a 2" jump. Much crisper
Yes the wheels are the only clean thing about the car. Bite me
I changed my mind - rather than being a strip joint, I think Satin Platinum should be a combo stripper act with identical twins Satin and Platinum.
Hope this helps.
Gnat, the Mars rovers are less dirty than that poor 911.

You really don't want to see my Cayenne if you think that is dirty
It wasn't enough to cover up where some jackass obviously hit the rear bumper
or whomever drug something red over the front driver's wheel well
It's a black car so it's already pointless to try to keep clean, but cleaning it also gets a good look at how badly it needs to spend some quality time with my wallet and bodyshop guy
