Summary:

1. Great for gentle road use.

2. If you drive hard or on track they will get destroyed and cost a fortune to replace.

£14k for a full set, last time I heard it being mentioned. Nice, eh?

Classic statement..
I'm sure the technical dept at Stuttgart, would love to read that.!!

I do believe that they will handle a very high mileage of very hard road use.

Many advantages, but if you do destroy them on the track, expensive to replace.

But... Porsche may help.

And if they don't, there are some great non-Porsche replacements that will set you up for the track --- even better than Porsche steel discs.

At around £5k as the extra cost from new, I for one went for them.

But check all the other threads for the general consensus.
