Got mine from a Porsche OPC complete with new tyres, so a bit more expensive than £2,835, but not much I seem to remember.

Are they Fuchs or Porsche Sport Classic which I understand were a Fuchs look-alike built in Italy ?![hippy](/inc/images/hippy.gif)

Yep, ordered a set of those only to be informed a couple of days later that they would not fit my car !![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/rPmpM776.jpg)
I bought this 997.1 C2S last week. It's my second 911 - previous car was a 996 C4 Cabriolet. Shouldn't have bought a convertible, or a C4!
It's tiptronic too - thought I would hate it, but I was pleasantly surprised. So easy to drive in traffic, and the shifts are quick enough when you use the buttons.
I love the wheels - this design looks properly 'right' on the 997 I think....

I think I am alone in saying I don't like the Lobster Claws.
I've those multi multi spokes on my summer tyres and five spokes on my winters (a god send to clean in comparison) but never been a fan of Lobsters.
I've got a similar setup as you, btw.
summer 19" SportDesign:

winter 18" CMS C12 five spokes:

They came with the car and I have yet to see them mounted. I'm still undecided on the looks.
Does anybody know CMS? I have never heard of them before.
I would have gone for 18" Porsche Carrera III wheels myself, but hey ho...
At least they are fitted with virtually new Conti T810 Sport tyres, so not to bad I guess!
