Got my GTS :)))) Updated with some pictures


So I got my GTS today, 143,400 sticker for 129,000.00 nice deal on a brand new car, white with dakota brown, nigh styling, red callipers, black 5 spoke wheels. What a beast, I had a 720whp m6 but this thing is so much more fun, you can't drive this car normaly, looks like a super car in person. I need a radar detector, can't wait to mod it, suspension and spacers are going in first.

Congrats Michail! But surely you're not serious about putting spacers on a car like this! Custom wheels or nothing come on man haha.

Let me know when you're ready for the KW Coilovers. Ours both looked and drove like a beauty after the install.

LOL what's wrong with spacers ? I love the design, and finish of the stock wheel, it just needs a drop and make it flush to make it look proper, idk maybe we M owners are a little less fancy, but as long as it doesn't ruin the performance, which deff didn't in my m6 I feel like I will go that route for now, pm me on suspension please.

Enjoy your car. Make a low rider out of it if you like. It's yours.

Below is a great video demonstrating the negative effects of a wheel spacer. I will shoot you over a DM about the KW kit shortly.

My guess would be that it was a financial decision made on their part but would be a great question to direct to a Porsche representative.

Hi Michail, I'm with you. I have some good looking forged wheels on my car and just want the rears especially to visually line up with the fender. Certainly not worth spending $10Gs on, I think!

Maybe one day I'll look at getting custom wheels, but I worry about the quality of the cheap ones, cringe at the price of 1-piece forged, and typically think of the multi-piece wheels as a suitable look for a Camaro.

Check out the thread I created on spacers. Ive updated it with what Ive learned so far.

Dont get me wrong, Id love a set of P101s and appreciate anyone who has chosen to spend their cash that way.

There are mutltiple forged monoblock wheels from HRE that begin at $1,500 per wheel.

The RC100's for example

Wqtched the vid. Thanks. Hopefully everyone appreciates that everything said in the vid applies to aftermarket wheels with non OEM offsets just as much as it applies to spacers.

Spacers are fine if you use the right company and have the hubcentric set up with the right bolts. No one here is Indy racing their GTS's LOL. I would not use adapters though.
