I promised my wife we would go pdk on this one having had manual GT3 and 981 which she wouldn’t drive... tbh manual would be my choice too, but at least if the PDK sorts the gearing there is some compensation!!

When we put a deposit down for the Spyder we took a 4 pot PDK GTS out for a test drive, as my girlfriend had never been in Boxster before. While we were waiting for it to arrive there were noises about it being her car. She was a bit surprised when it turned up with a manual gearbox and roof. She‘s driven it a few times, but has definitely become a convert to automatics over the last few years. I also keep reminding her that the roof is far easier to live with than the one on the Exige.mikey k said:

You'd need to factor in postage etc from US. Chap on Rennlist bought the non-OEM $35 ones for his Cayman R and no problem with the learning process

This link I posted is a set for aound £140, probably cheaper than the US option with shipping, import taxes and VAT?Now to find a used set of wheels
Good luck finding used GT4 wheels, especially 718 GT4 wheels. I decided I'd be waiting forever so went for a new set before Brexit buggers up supply and pricing!
