What do you call the Entry on the subject of tuning? For me and for many others, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and, most importantly, with an increase in performance! It should also be clear that everyone interprets the topic of tuning differently and so in the end everyone has a different idea of a tuned vehicle. But what if we take the trouble and compare our question with a statistic? Then we will find that for a good 60% of all vehicle owners with a desire for customization, the car is the first to receive a new wheel set and this is almost always at least 1 inch larger than the factory rims. The rims are replaced before the car is chiptuned or lowered.

In other words, a new wheel set is the most frequent change to a vehicle, but it is also one of the most expensive. The choice to replace the rims is understandable, because the rims installed ex works are not necessarily unsightly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and of course thousands of other buyers have one, in this case a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, also done. In addition, the wheel sets are of course trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works because they should please the general public.
All very good reasons for a new set of rims! Why not look around in the Vossen Wheels repertoire to see if a chic alternative can be found? The owner of this black Porsche 911 Carrera 4S of the current type 991 has "the wheelset project“And the standard rims were exchanged for a Vossen Wheels type VFS1 (VFS-1) in 21 inches and the color dark gray. Who knows Vossen Wheels can understand why it had to be this particular provider! Vossen has high quality rims in its range and a diverse selection. As you can see, there was something suitable for the 911 and the project could begin. Apart from the new rims, the 4S has received other changes that we are only aware of based on the photos, unfortunately we do not currently have exact details. No matter the focus is the new VFS1 wheelset which certainly does not miss the standard rims and is definitely an asset to the Carrera. The vehicle looks more dynamic and sporty, which is always a plus and should drive accordingly. We took a closer look at the photos and looked for differences compared to the production model and were able to determine a few more changes to the rims.
What we have learned from the tuner cartech.ch in Switzerland and have recognized ourselves, we provide you as usual in a summary below. If you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the comment box.

News
After cartech.ch put a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabrio on a set of Vossen Wheels Alu's last August, there was an update on the tuner's website this morning that shows what an identical wheel set looks like on the closed coupé version. No further information was given about the 21 inch wheelset, but we assume that the closed version of the 4S 3.0T should have the same specifications as the open version.
Maybe there will soon be an update with information and pictures. If this is the case we will of course also put it online and inform you about it.
