Been kinda busy today. I'm hoping to be able to take better pictures tomorrow. |
No change here. If I had a silver or white car I would have gone with the black wheels - I went with the Polished Aluminum HRE's to compliment the aluminum package.
I think I have the cayman specific offset too... 19x10.5 rear and 19x8.5 fronts? I spoke to the HRE guys and they said they used to do 19x11 in the rears but it was just too much for the cayman. I went for wider than stock rubber though, but then of course had to upgrade the suspension to counter the added under steer. It was like a chain reaction. Much more than i wanted to spend, but I'm very happy with the results.
Yours looks great! With stock rubber your car should drive the same as before. You should consider some black kidney grills and fog light spears... I think it might compliment the wheels nicely. Kind of like what gforce did.
Link to pics.
I totally could have gone for stock rubber without the concave rubber I was trying to avoid. Doh!

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
