Madlil Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Not today, but last week - Interim service + brake fluid and aux belt changed at Porschtek in Leeds (Phil & Tony are amazing). They also diagnosed play in the lower control arms causing a small amount of "pool ball rattle" noise from the front at low speeds. Had these replaced which was covered by Warrantywise who allowed me to use Porschtek at a cost of £676 to them. Quite impressed with Warrantywise - all sorted within 2 days.

Their service was excellent. Highly likely to renew when the warranty expires in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

718as Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Could do with spacers at the back. I do like those wheels.😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it ok to put them on the rear only, and is it best to go Porsche OEM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them on all 4 corners. The 19s would look even better if you dropped the profile size on your next set of tyres. Porsche oem are nice but the aftermarket ones are fine also, just get the longer OEM bolts if you go for 5mm spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacers are on the list of to do’s. 👍🏻 A couple of members run the 5mm ones from a company called Freakyparts they are listed as 987 ones but fit the 981 just the same. If you go too far with spacers you may find you get even more stone chips up the sides. Watch my maintenance video and consider the PPF bits for the sides if you haven't done so already.

Patt Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 No idea why I couldn't see your original picture. Looking good Madlil, although I've never been a fan of the 981 18's I too run the Freakyparts spacers and have done for many years. Here they are on my 981: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlil Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 That looks amazing Patt, however I don’t have PASM so 19s offer the best balance between looks and comfort for me. 20s do look fantastic with the spacers though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 No PASM on her either and I don't find the ride at all harsh. Have a set of 19's for the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madlil Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Morning Rob, yes bought it from Bowker but I live In West Yorks. Was a bit of a trek over the A59 as I want to see it twice then went to pick it up. Pretty good dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I'm considering spacers for mine. I run 20's but on the Porsche website I can't see a product listing for this size of wheel. Apparently the set they do stock are not recommended for 20" rims 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20"sport techno wheels stick out more than the Carerra s wheels anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
