I am definitely NOT loving the wheels. Why couldn't they come up with something like the Porsche XRR wheels?

I ended up going Friday night about a minute before they closed on my way back from Pocono. Heidi was nice enough to let me in to take a look, she even invited me to an afterparty they were setting up, alas I had to take off as the wife was already nagging me to come home.
What I saw looked great, I think both cars are secluded at a local dealer as we speak

the wheels are not bad... i am sure they look better in person - but i was more hoping that they would design a classic turbo look rim, similar to the sport-techno.

Chaapa'ai is infamous around these parts

The rims are a little "BMW M6ish" to me. I miss the 996TT turbo rims.

More importantly they look hard to clean,...too many nooks and crannies. Maybe in a few years time they'll allow Classics rims as an option, ...maybe in time for my 2009 build?
