I've got the Turbo wheels right now. I like'em better than most other kinds of wheels offered by Porsche, but the 20" Technos are irrestible. In hindsight, the best time to get them is when you buy the car, that way you can negotiate the price down much more easily.

I tried that, but my dealer wanted to sell me the ST's at full price and have me use my originals for snows- I had spent enough money that day, and he felt he had given me enough of a discount; however, sometimes you do get lucky as you suggested- it just wasn't my day. I'm actually a fan of the 18" turbos (I have 2 sets), and I'd love to lower my car- but that'll make the ride too rough for my wife to want the car when I want to trade our Audi in on a 911.

I love to wear my Brioni suits with payless shoes and Walmart tube socks - it not only feels hot, it looks HAWT!

Get a good deal on the "real deal" Don't do your ride an injustice with replicas and crappy tires.

Not being an elitist, pompous, *****, but you get the idea right?

Exactly! Keep it real- you're not dealing with a Chevy.
