S197 = drag car.
S550 = road racer / daily driver.

Came here to say this...

Oh and if you want a single turbo kit, S197 (CPR). Nothing for the S550 yet.

Good except...

They put much narrower wheels with all-season tires on it. Those are an optional 19x8.5" wheel. The Perf. Pack comes with the black multispoke 19x9/19x9.5 and summer tires.

That's because it's probably not a Perf. Pack. Hell, they list it as a premium when it clearly isn't.

If it was me, I would keep on looking.

Well the window sticker does say it's got the performance package

I see it, it does have the brembos. Where did the stock wheels and tires go? What else did they modify? I would approach that one cautiously.

Yes and the wingless trunk. But I hear what your saying. I know a lot of older guys don't care for black wheels so
Maybe it was ordered with these wheels. Or maybe he swapped them. I don't know

Right, but not having the extra wheel width and styling depreciates the value of that vehicle.

Never mind I see it did come with those wheels but maybe he swapped them for whatever reason

Yes that's something that I need negotiate with the dealer on

 

[Drek08]

I spoke with the dealership, they said they would either put the right wheels on work on the price of the car

Nice. With the PP wheels that's a good price, or take the reduced price and go aftermarket and get a lighter/wider setup (budget about $2000 for something good).

Yea I may do that because I don't know how quick they can get those wheels and swap them if I get the car

It's not just the wheels.

The PP wheels should come with Pirelli P-Zero Summer Only High Performance tires, and they should be nitrogen filled. Green stem caps too. I think the proper tire sizes that they should be are listed on that window sticker.

Don't let them order or find a set of PP wheels and then put some shit tires in the wrong size on them. Or skip the nitrogen.

All PP cars are wingless.

That car was sold yesterday so today I'll be picking up either a brand new PP or premium. Undecided as of now
