Hello all
Thought I'd share this job with you all.
Brief was to supply a cost effective but not bland set of winter wheels for this Gen 2 to preserve the life of the Carrera Sport wheels we supplied in the summer, negating tyre changes twice yearly and also salt corrosion on the lips. Customer wanted N rated winter tyres not least because of warranty needs.
I suggested a set of lobster claw Carrera S wheels in correct offset which could be transformed in a two tone scheme.
The colour was chosen and matched the same as 997 Turbo and Turbo II wheels. This colour is a no-cost option as we do so many. Also I encourage sticking to the Porsche colour palette as if it doesnt work its expensive to rectify.
He opted for Nokian WR N-0 rated as they are £100 less expensive but also have a more pronounced tread design over the Pirelli Sottozero II.
To finish off we supplied matching genuine Porsche caps of the latest design. The Carrera Sport caps, apart from being the wrong colour are a different design being flat not concave.
We will store the summer wheels after a clean and then visit the cutsomer at work twice a year to change over again.
Here are the results which I hope you like. Personally I love them, perfect colour scheme for this car, and a really cost effective solution as these wheels are inexpensive due to volumes produced.
Thanks for looking.
