There was a Boxster, a 911 and a Cayenne on show inside - I was told Porsche Reading used the show area as a showroom when the dealership was being modernised.

18s look far too weedy on a 4S, you need 19s, check these Kahns out

Anyway, I understand some people are sticking with standard disks which at least are a bit cheaper to replace (cheaper being a relative term!)

It was also an absolute pleasure for my C4S test drive to be from Park Lane to Reading and back.

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.

on the new 4S you can have the new sport techno wheels as a no cost option. my dad quite likes them but i am not so sure. what do you guys think?

Carbon brakes are a 6K option.......sorry, but - unless you're Schuey or Kid jenson they're beyond my ability to appreciate. Goodness....the standard C4S brakes are stupendous in their own right.
Sport Technos are nice - but no nicer than C4S standard . GT3 wheels are an option on C4S CAB but why pay more for the same Wheel/tyre...size/profile....especially when C4S wheels are so tasty ???
(ok.so.....GT3 wheels are hollow & lighter ...not monobloc!!.....but we're splitting hairs here.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 5068
yeh i thought there was something wrong with the brake thing.
i think those sport techno's have too many straight lines for a car with so many curves and that applies too all the 911s i feel.
i agree bout the GT3 wheels as well, not worth it.

Bad boys indeed
Migration info. Legacy thread was 5075
The Kahns are bad boy tasty for sure ....but don't they belong on a scoobie or a skyline or a sumfink other than a porsche ?
If porsche were to specify an option of factory 19"s - then maybe i'd be interested. But, meanwhile i reckon 3rd party/after market 19"s may well compromise the porsche perfectly-breathed-upon set-up...........which for me is more than firm enough already.
OK....they look great those Kahns...but not for me, thanks.

Hi all, new member of the forum reporting for duty. I've been reading your comments for a little while without putting my twopenneth in, so I feel like I already know some of you.
Anyway, the reason why I felt today was a good day to speak up is because I have just spec'ed my C4S for delivery at the beginning of September, and wheels were a point of order.
I took a tour of the Reading site last week and while admiring a row of GT3s I was told that the GT3 wheel will be an option on the 2004 C4S and C4S Cab. This threw me as I'm a big fan of the standard alloys, but the GT3 wheels would really set it apart whilst not going 3rd party. I also saw some Sport Technos and wasn't keen - sorry Luke's Dad.
Anyway, decided on the toss of a coin to go for the GT3s and was then called to say that Porsche won't be doing that after all. No biggy as I still love the Turbo IIs, but I thought you might be interested.
BTW, my mails won't normally be this long - promise!

Hi, Jamie.....truth be known i nearly chose the GT3 wheels for C4S CAB but only stopped short because OPC didn't know official price. I then assumed it would possibly be a circa £850 option. Had nothing particular to base it on, but further thought C4S wheels being same size,etc ....why not stay with them ??
Interesting to find out (A). actual price and (B) are they still offering them......( did i read here somewhere that the option has been pulled ??)
Anyway......welcome to the site .

after further looks at the sport techno's and using the power of imagination im certain that my dad will not be going down that route. ill make sure of it!! :evil:
this look around the reading gaff sounds pretty useful for speccing. do you set that up through the dealer? our dealer is the old Lancaster in London who have now moved somewhere that i cant remember. has anyone else gone through them and done the reading tour?
Migration info. Legacy thread was 5128
Did the Reading tour prior to speccing my latest car. There were loads of different cars, loads of different specs but nothing similar to the one I wanted to order (Slate Grey, red Boxster leather, Carbon), so I decided not to proceed down that road and went for Seal/Black instead. The highlight of the day was driving from Guildford to Reading and back in a 450bhp new Turbo. Of course, only gave it some when it had warmed up........
The Reading visit can be arranged through your local dealer/salesman.

Stick with the standard rims.. those techno things don't suit the lines at all..
Carbon brakes don't give off any brake dust.. surely that's worth £6k! :wink:
Migration info. Legacy thread was 5145
There have been some issues with Carbon brakes on 996TTs. Apparently they have been cracking and when Porsche has been confronted about this they say that they must have been abused. How the hell do you abuse carbon brakes on a 996TT? Surely that is exactly what they are meant for? Anyway, I understand some people are sticking with standard disks which at least are a bit cheaper to replace (cheaper being a relative term!)

As Mogsy said, I organised it with my man at the OPD. As a long term Porsche fan it was like a trip to Mecca. It was also an absolute pleasure for my C4S test drive to be from Park Lane to Reading and back. The salesman even bought me a sandwich at the services - how's that for customer attention!
Forget the carbon brakes - if you can't stop with the standard brakes, you shouldn't be allowed to drive.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 5149
wow, this reading trip sounds pretty pukka.
were only going to consider carbon brakes if they were a no cost as said on the website configurator but at 6 grand i think we will give them a miss.

Was talking to Dad, says he has done this thing when the Cayenne was officially unveiled there. The cars are up on ramps being prepared or something.

It's like a Porsche theme park! OK, brief description:
We pulled up in a staff car park surrounded by so many Cayenne company cars it even surprised my man from the OPD. The building was very impressive considering it's about 30 years old - it really hasn't dated at all (much like the cars). There was a Boxster, a 911 and a Cayenne on show inside - I was told Porsche Reading used the show area as a showroom when the dealership was being modernised. We walked through the largest pre-delivery/service area I've ever seen which had so many cars up on ramps or with bonnets open I couldn't take it all in. However, the best part was outside at the back - a sea of 911s, over 100 I'd say, all brand new and waiting to be sent to their expectant owners.
It really was a worthwhile (and free) experience. Ask your OPD for a visit.
