Spent the day with a Porsche 918 - holy cow !

Great experience. Very cool.

First time I saw the wheels they strangely reminded me of Shakeweights. Maybe the SNL bit was around the release. :biggrin

At least the standard 918 wheel bears less of a resemblance to a certain male body part than the McLaren base wheel.



Dave has a point about the caliper color being a signature of the tech theme. I guess the same could be said of the base wheel too. Many of the hybrid cars seem to have very complex wheel designs. Honestly, you could put wooden wagon wheels on the 918 and it would still be fantastic.

That is a sweet looking ride!

Noticed a recall was just announced on some of them.

FWIW - I like the looks of the stock wheels. They told me the can change the caliper color without much difficulty. Perhaps lots of folks don't love the green. You can also have most of the badging removed, which I found a bit intrusive on the aesthetics.

Great opportunity and car!

Hopefully Porsche installed clear bra on those inside rockers.
