Porsche Marketing Department Strikes Again - Hilarious

[Wh1t3Kn1ght]

So I don't have any beef with Matthew, who seems to have fallen foul of Porsche's Marketing Department.

FAKE ENGINE SOUNDS!

There are some 996 sounds in there but most of the time it sounds like some american muscle car (not sure which one).

Stock engine noise sound fx probably.

Fuchs wheels look the part on any 911 generation though. 'High-strength aluminium' no less!

 

[porkchops]

I have always wanted a pair of Fuchs on my C4S, I think they look great. I nearly bought a mint set last year with michelin tyres for less than £1,500, still beat myself about it.

Just 2?

 

[bananaz]

Fuchs wheels are notoriously expensive. Even owning 2 is considered a prestigious amount.

The trick is to get one front and one rear so that at least the car looks good from one side.

996 looks great

Fuchs wheels are notoriously expensive.

So is Porsche officially now offering genuine new Fuchs wheels for a 996, and if so, how much for a set?
