2011 Panamera S on 21" wheels

Hey everybody, new Panamera owner and 6speed member here and thought I would share some pictures of my S that Ive been tinkering with. I just recently installed the H&R lowering springs and some 21" Niche Essen wheels.

Your car looks great. Silver wheels on a blue car is my favorite combination. 21s look much better on the Panamera than a 911.

Congrats on ownership and looks nice. Got 21"s on too. I thought about getting those wheels before, are they heavy or light?

I donated my 21" HRE's to my companies charity ebay auction site, they sold at exactly the price I told them they would. I have been telling people about what bigger heavier wheels can do to a sports cars handling for years but after my BMW 650 experience (I removed the boulder 20" wheel and run flat crap tires from the Msport package) and went with very lightweight 19" and SP04's, which totally transformed the car, I am now convinced that(it has just as much effect on bigger GT cars as well) putting on big heavy wheel and tire combinations will reduce a cars handling and make the driving experience worse.

They look great, I got 22" but I want to downsize to 21"s but the tire options are very limited but your set up looks amazing
