718 Cayman Pictures Thread

[S666SBD]

Thanks for the clarification .... although not good news . I suspected that Crayon was pale grey and not beige as in your pics.
I may have to go down the ' custom ' leather route for my preferred interior .. .. Expensive !!!

No, I meant beige as in the very first picture as someone else was deliberating over the beige or two-tone beige/black leather. Sorry for the confusion.

Here are some close ups:



When I told the PEC instructor at Silverstone that I had opted for 19s he said that 19s would be his choice for a road car as, in conjunction with PASM, it allows the Sports mode to be used to firm up the ride without loosening your fillings giving you a compliant normal mode for pootling and a very useable sports mode for hooning (where the law permits) on the road. I think the 20s look great but (perhaps I am getting wiser) I have for once gone for substance over style.

IMHO the 19s look great, like they match the car. The 20s look a bit aftermarket to me.

Would be good if you could have the 19s in Black or Platinum as that's what I want.

Factory finish easily achieved by any number of reputable wheel places for around £300.

Still torn between the wheels above and the Boxster S 19s. The standard ones will be easier to clean, and are "free"..





Thoughts?

[FourPotPorsche]

You know my thoughts - I think more than 5 spokes per wheel is too much effort to clean

[adamishome]

Top one looks much better. Just my opinion.

[edo]

well that helped

My Polish bloke charges the same regardless of number of spokes so aesthetics reign.

[Stunters]

I'd choose the 5 spokers all day long out of those two. I think the other wheels look a bit too busy on the Cayman whereas the 5 spokers are simple and elegant. I'm sure you'll enjoy the car with either set!

Yep aesthetics reign so the 5-spokers win on looks, ease of maintenance and a lower unsprung mass

How's about (+PASM)...

[edo]

Got PASM already! Really want to keep 19's and not spend 1500 on wheels. Top of those ok. Black a no. Possibly need to see in the flesh.

19s look best IMHO.

[mogli882]

Ideally I would have 20s - but I think those 19' Boxster S wheels are really nice

Have to disagree thing in black looks stunning

[FourPotPorsche]

Looks overwheeled to me.

They're lovely, but approx £1200 vs £2300, its a big jump imo

That's the only problem would nearly sacrifice the roof to have them lol
