It is my understanding that it will take about 500 miles for the tires to break-in. And as soon as the weather de-crapifies, I shall be able to give a full report. The reason I purchased these tires is because of their impressive rating at tirerack.com as well as just the way they look. They DO look
mean, and I love that! A lot of reviews said these things were loud but so far they seem about the same as P Zeros.
I have been dealing with Carlos on the deal, not much, just a few emails here and there. The center caps are just smooth with the logo printed on it (where on Porsche caps the logo is pressed/embedded)... they look fine from standing distance, but un-Porsche-ish from close (washing distance).
One thing to note if you have locking lugs: because the holes for the lugs are so deep on the rear wheels, you either need a special tool getting them on or use just regular lugs.
The wheels are 18x8 front & 18x
10 rear Perfectlap. It's close! But it fits and looks fat (and even phat). A locked turn may reveal some contact... haven't really tested yet. I may zip-tie down the brake line in the rear because it's pretty close to the wheel.
And notice the smoked center brake light -that's LED baby! Pick one of those up on eBay, they're really bright.
The
attached photos below show the width of the tires on the car. They are touched up to reveal the tires mostly... and one of them was taken from my phone, so excuse the quality. There is also a center cap photo.
