Looking for advice on wheels for potential CPO Panamera

Hello, I am about to buy a new-to-me 2018 CPO Panamera 4S. I love everything about the car except the wheels. They look cheap for such an expensive car. I've always loved the Porsche turbo wheels but saw that they cost over $4k on the Porsche website. Is there a better way than going through the dealership to get these wheels? Or, if I work with the dealership selling me the car what should I expect, if anything, from them regarding a discount on the wheels I want? I never thought I would pay $100k for a car and not like the wheels...hopefully I can find some help here to keep that additional cost down. Thanks in advance for your advice here.

I will send before/after pictures of the car once I pull the trigger. It is in SoCal and I hope to purchase it within the week.

There was somebody selling a set on Rennlist in the Panamera section. Take a look there.

Thanks c4racer, I will take a look. Hopefully the dealership and I will agree on a price soon and then I will focus on the wheels. If I'm not in a 2018 4s by the end of the week I will be disappointed big-time. I'll share my pics of the car when I purchase it or one of me drinking my sorrows away if I don't. Either way look for a picture.

Doug,

I've yet to buy my 2018 4s. I am a loser..I keep finding better cars and can't decide on which one. I lost a really nice one in Dallas that had only 211 miles and was loaded..they wanted $105k and I tried unsuccessfully to get them lower. UGH! Anyway, I know you are a Pano expert and I have a question for you. There are a couple loaded 2017 turbo's out there <$120k and I wonder if one of those would be better than a 2018 4s. Any thoughts on my thinking here? I still believe I can get a nicely loaded 4s under $110k out the door and am not sure the 2017 turbo is worth $15k more. It is one less year of CPO warranty which bothers me but you get a lot of car with the turbo. I am committed to purchasing a car before Labor Day so any help would be appreciated. Thanks...I owe you!

Thanks for the quick reply...much appreciated. Any specific options I should be looking at? It is a big car and I've heard rear wheel steering is a must. Others? Thanks in advance for helping with this.
