Please elaborate? i need a definitive answer. as i am so on the fence about it. and time is running out on one of the Auctions. :violin:



Also CONGRATS @HRoi !!! :slayer::slayer: That's ******* Baller!:worship:
Thanks! Of those two, I’d go with the Works. The Advan is a classic design but (a) they ruined it with that ugly pale gold and clashing blue striping, and (b) those rim gouges looks far worse than just normal rash and don’t look like they can be refinished 100%

Thanks guys. I am needing a set of Summers asap. The back story is' I bought this car before winter. and it has a set of Potenza's on stock rims. but the rubber is dried out. -Tires are from 2007. my mint car was rarely driven. so yeah,ok.
I stick an old set of winters on for their last season. now? i got nothing to put on it.
I'm looking for a set of nice wheels, with a few scratches.(so i don't freak when i scratch them) that i can color match and clean up a bit. then put some decent rubber on a bit later. ie:nice "Daily" wheels.

The Work's are looking likely.

Stock wheels that came on it will get good winter's put on them later.

On my phone I thought the works looked too beat up. I think its the opposite now on a larger screen. I'd go with the Work.

Don't get me wrong here, I love Porsche almost as much as many here (although not nearly as much as Ferrari), and I have several on the old bucket list. Having said that, if anyone plans on becoming famous, I would run in the other direction of Porsche. I don't believe there has ever been an auto brand that has been associated with more celebrities deaths then Porsche. Outside of auto racing of course. Ferrari sure has many since Scuderia Ferrari was known for its fierce and unapologetic competitiveness. Sure some of Porsche related deaths can be blamed on Operator Error, but one can't ignore the growing list. James Dean and the few that were unlucky enough to buy the parts of "Little Bastard", Paul Walker + Roger Rodas, Ryan Dunn, VR Alexander.

Speaking of VR Alexander, this one is a classic:



This is true. Over here for some reason all the mangled Italians didn't result in even a scratch but Porsches are notorious for bad endings.
