CMA Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Very nice, especially in the Red.... but I may be biased as I have my own GTS in Carmine red too.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im about to speak to Lee at CPS about fitting the rest of the kit. X73 on my MY13 981 Boxster is awesome. Cars stance is far more purposeful in looks. Ride quality is at first OMG what have I done 😂😂 but my experience after a 1000 miles is it’s fine. Handling is vastly improved over standard. Only consideration is ground clearance has been reduced somewhat but nothing I’ve really ever had a problem with 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 The issue will be that it's probably on back order like half of their parts catalogue at the moment, I was after a wheel locking bolt this week for the other car and a replacement has no ETA.

Withy Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Oooh, that looks awesome. IMHO the best colour for a GTS, congratulations on the new car Rob. What interior has it got? I'm guessing the alcantara GTS interior pack with the red stitching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocky Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Absolutely beautiful motor Rob & interesting points about the Spyder. I think it looks great with the silver wheels also! How many 981's is that now? 5? All of your cars have looked great in my opinion but as above that's probably the most special colour for a 981 GTS. & You've made me miss those roads 😭😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffe Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Lovely car, coming from another slightly biased owner 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Had the wheels powder coated Satin Platinum today, as I thought the silver was a little to bright for Carmine Red. Looks a lot classier now....what do you think? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1flyguy Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 So, sooooo much better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey P Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I doubt you'll get anyone on here saying anything negative about those wheels, they look excellent, nice one mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thought I would try painting them Platinum - and what a transformation! Loving them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffe Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Much better 😎😎 mine are currently satin black but going to colour change, Safe choice is satin Platinum but I’m feeling slightly punchy and may go satin Aurum Gold ( my cars Guards Red).

daz05 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thumbs up, red goes nicely with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocky Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Looks great I liked the silver wheels just because you see too many folk going black/red. As previously commented the car looks guards red in the photos which I think looks ace with silver wheels. Looks sleek now! Looks a bit nicer weather up there than down here 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 They look great, good colour choice for that style of wheel. I repaired some Taycan alloys yesterday in satin Platinum and it was a nice match with his Gentian blue body colour. I think they could benefit from some 10mm spacers all round, I changed mine from 7/15mm as the 15mm were a touch too wide but the 10mm all round look and drive spot on 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you source them? How much are they? Are any other modifications required, for example longer studs to mount wheels? Any effect on warranty? Do you have any pictures of them on the car? Had a bad experience fitting wide wheel spacers to a Mini many years ago, they put too much strain on the wheel studs and they sheered off resulting me losing both front wheels whilst driving.....

The idea of the spacer’s is to widen the track of the car which makes the wheels fill the arches more and supposedly improve grip. I think it is more of a cosmetic thing but it does make a difference to how the car looks. I will post some photos for you ! Yes I remember those terrible spacers on the minis, same idea but much better quality and fit😎 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
