From what I was told the nitrogen is better. I don't know, they came that way. I wouldn't go as far as having them refilled that way. Thank you for the compliment. I am very happy with them. I just ordered some carbon mirrors to go along with the rims. And next week I am doing the mesh grill inserts. I want to get rid of the plastic grill that comes stock in the front. I think the mesh gives the car a more exotic look.

Longer Rim Life – Rim rust caused by condensation from water vapor and other gases can get caught in valves and create slow leaks in tires. Nitrogen is completely dry, so it eliminates the potential for condensation.

Improved TPMS Performance – If you have a new car, you likely are plagued by a flashing light telling you your tire pressure is low. For example, one woman's light was going off every four to five weeks. After inflating with nitrogen, her light didn't reappear for 53 weeks!

CALCULATE YOUR OWN SAVINGS HERE: http://www.getnitrogen.org/

The air we breathe
The air that's in your tires







A tire filled with "plain old air"
can lose 1.5 psi in less than a month

With nitrogen, it can take up to six months to lose 1.5psi.







Oxygen reacts and damages inner tire liners and belt packages; nitrogen does not.

Thank you 996! Next week I am putting an indash kenwood navi screen in with reverse camera and Bluetooth etc. I am also changing the front bumper grill insert with some silver mesh to look a little more aggressive and to flow with the rims. I also just ordered some carbonfiber mirrors to go on her also.

Thank you rugrunner! That's exactly what I am trying to accomplish. So you saying that makes me feel good. Im not trying to ruin the 911 look, but also at the same time give it a little more of the super car look I think Porsche should have done in the first place.

Most Porsche dealerships will have these fill stations, understanding that any shop which carries a decent Nitro machine has invested a small fortune at a tune of 6-9K... We have two, one plumbed right in to our road force balancer and one stand-alone unit for 5-wheels at once in 20-min.

how much does it cost to have them filled with nitrogen? Sounds like it will cost a few bucks!

Most Porsche places will include it with a service since they are billing around $155 per hour anyhow....

I would say the typical cost would be: $50-100 per set, depending on who's doing the service for you, but just to add some air to an existing set then maybe $20-40
