New Style 18" Alloys on 987 "S"

[daro911]

What do you guys think about the new style 18" Alloy fitted on the "S" as standard Page 12 & 107 of the Hardback Catalogue? Personally I think they are nicer looking than the 19" other "S" option which also cost a whopping £1018.00 extra and look a lot harder to keep clean [8D]

Told you[]

Absolutely agree. 18" S looks good and will be my choice. And besides it means I can use that spare 1k and plough it into the Bose package with wind deflector. You'll hear my coming before you see me[] (No sexual connotation for those of you with a warped mind).

It was only after having the book about 2 days that I realised that the Lapis Blue is supporting the 18" S wheels and the S has the 19". Much to my relief as I don't really like the ones on the GT Silver car.

I am a little disappointed in the overall variety of wheels. I was hoping to carry on my relationship with Sport Classics, although they are hell to clean, when they shine they look fabulous.

I dont like the new S 18" but wont pay the extra for the 19" sport design.
We will get used to the new designs over time.

What i dont understand is the P policy to give most models their own style of wheel. I would prefer fewer, but more attractive styles, available over more P models.

what happened to form and function?

Anybody want to scan & share the pics so we can all give an opinion? []

Yes the Lapis and the 18's look lovely in the book, but I'd like to see the contrast of the silver side vents with a combo of exterior colours before signing on the dotted line. I think there is a fine line between classy and teeth scratchingly awful that may need to be trod!

Gee, I bet your scanner's glowing.

Good job though!

Not my work. Credit should go to Atlantis on the Rennteam forum.

Ahh!

I didn't remember seeing the copyright in the brochure, but thought maybe i'd just glossed over it.

There you go [8D]

I hadn't really noticed the silver side vents until you posted this image.

Going back to what Dapster said, I think i'll have to see it before picking a colour. I was over 50% decided on another Guards Red, but my imagination is now running amok. Scarey.
