I'm 100% satisfied with the way the car drives compared to the Boxster. I bought the thing knowing it wasn't a sports car, so I don't expect it to be.

I know what you mean about the thud. Right up there with the German door "whump" sound.

Lovely. You'll enjoy the MPG savings over the I6 and the 428 is no slouch.

Nice color too.

MattTheCarNut · 10-14-2014, 01:41 PM

Just had my new wheels installed. Back at the office now, but I will take more pictures once I wash the car and the wheels.

I cannot believe how much more presence these wheels give the car. And, the M-Sport brakes REALLY stand out now.

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G30 B58 · 10-14-2014, 02:40 PM

Wheels do look good but the weight, construction and how well they hold up ...... only time will tell.

Again, they look awesome.

rjpeaks · 10-14-2014, 02:59 PM

looks good

VMRWheels · 10-14-2014, 05:55 PM

Looking good!!

MattTheCarNut · 10-15-2014, 08:54 AM

I cleaned the car up last night and had an evening photo shoot.

1. It's hard to not get one's shadow in pictures near dusk
2. Estoril Blue photographs washed out near dusk
3. OMG my car looks sexy
4. No, I'm not dropping it
5. Really, the suspension is staying stock
6. Did I mention how sexy my car looks?

Gloss black performance grills and black Dinan exhaust would be my only other things on the list if it were mine

I'm still not sold on the black grills, though. I keep going back and worth. I already purchased a 335 exhaust. So that'll come up next! Woot!

KneeDragr · 10-15-2014, 09:23 AM

With that color light/dark areas really start to contrast later in the day. It looks like 2 different blues from different camera angles.

Gate7 · 10-15-2014, 11:18 AM

taking it off-roading soon? if you're going to spend $50k+ on a 4cyl you should at least get some proper coilovers

haha just messing with you, both of my cars are lowered. Just got to be careful on Houston roads and haven't had any issues.

either way, congrats and enjoy the car!

Yes- I often off-road down W Gray or W Alabama.

LOL

Thanks!

I got them here:

Just make sure you go with wide enough rubber. I went with 225 fronts and 255 rears, and the wheel edge is definitely exposed.
