Default Porsche 918 There is no Substitute

As the Porsche 918 Spyder has found it's way into more end users hands, wheel modifications have become more common. Here is a selection of HRE Performance Wheels chosen to replace the OEM Porsche counterpart.

Wheel and tire specs 9.5 265 35 and 20s 12.5 325 30 21

I've never liked P cars, but I love the 918, I wish I could afford that car, it is stunning.

There was one on Rennlist with 550 miles on it that was being offered by a dealer for $1,350,000 (MSPR of just over $930k with $32,000 wheels and $26,000 leather package). It sold pretty quickly, might I add.

Yes sir unfortunately it is they really had to go all out but I keep on thinking that the Carrera GT never reached not even 800k mar which I am so surprised due to its 5.7 V10 pushing 600 natrually aspirated horses. The reason it is surprising because the V10 was literary taken from Lemans racing team and put in the street car.

The more aggressive aftermarket wheels really breathe life into the design.

You need to keep up. A nice low mile CGT is over $800K

I'd like to meet that photographer/editor....some of these are masterful. Had to be a hell of a piece of equipment shooting as well.
