I'm running 325/25/20 Michellin PS2's, there isn't a lot of options at that size either. It's either Michellin or Continentals.

if your car is not a 4, couldn't you run 295/30/20 rears and 235/30/20 fronts to mitigate the rubberbandish-ness and harsher ride? i say only on 2 wheel drive cars cause of the % difference from front to rear has to stay within 3%, +/-,,,and the fronts won't fit under the spring plate base when you use 35 aspect tires, by the way, i have 2 new 245/35/20 pirellis that i'll let go cheap-o, unfortunately, for state-side guys... i live in germany

Yes, the interior is terracotta.

The car was originally A 2006 Carrera 4s tiptronic, fully optioned.
Further to the Gemballa body kit and wheels, mods go fairly far.
1) Engine : Gemballa exhaust sytem ( headers, 200 cpi catalysts,
race exhaust.
Schrick cams
82mm throttle body
IPD 82mm plenum
K&N intake
Plasma coils
VF-engineering supercharger
2) Suspension : Bilstein Damptronic coilovers clubsport
H&R sway bars front and rear
RSS adjustable links, toe links and rear upper links
Gemballa front and rear strut bars
Powerflex bushings front and rear
3) Brakes : Porsche 997 turbo brakes ( non ceramic )
4) Interior : DCT motorsports flat bottom steering wheel
Aluminium pedals.

That is about it.
Thank you for the kind words.
