    Re: NEW pics of base cayman

    Looks really strange with these "baloon" 17" standard wheels.
    IMO 18" are a must here! Even better with PASM(-10mm) and 19"...

    Wheels look WAY to small, especially in pic#3. Need 18" or 19" to fill those arches.

    Re: NEW pics of base cayman

    Thanks. The base Cayman looks great. Looks more "powerful" than the S due to the single large exhaust pipe, like the Lambo LP640.

    Re: NEW pics of base cayman

    Since the 17", 18" and 19" tires all have the same overall diameter I don't see how the bigger sizes "fill the arches" any differently than the 17".

    Because the bright aluminium wheels are more obvious than black tyres in black lined wheel wells. The 17" wheels look as silly in the 987 range as 16" did in the 986 range.

    "The 17" wheels look as silly in the 987 range as 16" did in the 986 range."

    That is purely subjective. I think they look just fine.
    Now what size wheels did the '73 911RS have...

    I agree. BTW, RS had 195/65/15 and 205/60/15 on 6" and 7" 15's (later upgraded to 7's and 8's x 15"), I think...

    Re: NEW pics of base cayman

    I do prefer the five-spoke 18s, but the 17s look OK too - definitely not silly IMO. If I were buying a Cayman, I would probably take the standard and upgrade wheels a year-or-so down the road.

    According to Chris Harvey's book the '73 RS had 185/70/15 tires on the front 6" wheels and 215/60/15 on the rear 7" wheels and the tires used were Pirelli CN36.
