Spec'ing out a 2014 GTS and wondering about the performance and ride quality on 19 vs 20" rims. Whats the verdict, better ride and performance on the 19 or no diff between the two? If no difference black sport wheels or turbo II?

Also thinking Platinum Silver Ext/Espresso Int., pondering the which wood or carbon insert. Leaning to walnut, birch, or carbon respectively. Nothing? Thoughts?

Thanks for the input.

 

I wouldn't say that the ride quality will be day and night difference between 19 and 20. Definitely more road noise. I'll go with the Turbo II, it's the perfect OEM wheels on the Panamera.

I love the Espresso int as well as the two-tone black/cream or black/grey. The white contrast stitching is beautiful. Wish I had them on mine but I bought off a dealer's inventory as it had all the options that I wanted except for the trim. Mine came with walnut and it definitely doesn't go with my grey interior. Purchased the OEM carbon from suncoast and already have them in hands. Just finding time to swap them out. It's either carbon for a more sporty or birch for a more classy interior.

 

Get the Turbo 2 or or the all black wheels if the paint is not black. Otherwise T2.

 

Turbo II wheels are best on the Panamera. Espresso interior is fantastic, I had the darker gray wood on my Turbo and it looked great, the grain in the finish matched the espresso leather. On my current GTS I have aluminum trim against black leather and it looks great vs the Plat Silver exterior. Decisions...

By the way, can you order a 2014 GTS? I thought that model went into a brief hiatus after a refresh?

 

I have the Espresso/Walnut interior inside my GT Silver 4S and I think it's a great looking combination. As for the wheels, I had 20"s on my M6 and no problems with them other than wearing too quickly; I have 19"s (w/Turbo wheels) on my 4S and I think I much prefer them over the 20"s because of ride, low noise, and the fact that they work well in all seasons here in the D.C. area.

 

for the look and ONLY look - 20" or higher
for functionality and weekend track events - 19"

 

I hope so, have already given the dealer $1000 for a allocation spot.
