I am diggin' the wheels as well. Factory option to black them out yes?
SPASM is two thumbs up.
Congrats on a fine ride. Be sure to find out what it is capable of (under controlled conditions). And please break the car in with some gusto yes? My C4S was driven hard since day one and doesn't soot or burn oil.
Woo-hoo!

Nice one. From looking at the P website, wheels are available in a wide variety of colors now, including matching body color.
I'm most curious about the suspension, I'll bet it is the sport suspension that is not PASM. Sportier dampers and not adjustable. This setup was reviewed in Germany as a much better choice than the compromise PASM suspension.

Total911 magazine also preferred the sport package over PASM (during test of the base Carrera). They said something to the effect of: if you can handle the permanent firm ride that it had a more direct feel at the limit.

SPASM is adjustable by way of a button for either "normal" or "sport".
Normal is fine on most roads. Sport really needs smooth(er) roads.
Sport mode is fantastic for track work. Almost zero body roll.

The sport suspension option is not available in the U.S., AFAIK. According to reviews I've read, it is between normal and sport on a PASM car and is said to be just right in terms of ride. Probably really close to what people achieve in the normal mode with Damptronics. Wish we could get it here.
