welcome to the site!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
I am in the market for some rims and tires for my car. In uptown right by chino latino's I constantly see the same car as mine, except with gunmetal rims, I never bothered to look at what brand name the rims were. However I would like to be a big ol copycat and find some similar style rims.
Do you know if this will void my warranty? Should I have them installed at Valley Imports, which seems to be the only local porsche dealership?

WelcomeHey Jim, do you work at Cargill in Minnetonka? I see a blue BMW parked there like yours all the time.

Installing aftermarket wheels will not automatically "void" your warranty, and 99 times out of 100, will not cause it to be voided or otherwise not honored.
If you try to make a warranty claim, the dealership and/or Porsche USA would need to show that the wheels specifically caused or were involved with the failure you want warranty coverage over before they could legally deny it. The relevant law is the Magnusson-Moss warranty act.
If you use wheels in the exact fitment (including offset), you should be fine. If you change the track of the vehicle considerably, or cause tire rubbing, and then weird things happen, Porsche may have a valid reason to deny warranty claims on suspension related parts.

I see you guys are located on Main. Should be very easy to find. I will stop by on saturday, assuming you guys are open? Do I need to schedule an appointment? I have no idea what I want right now, and I'm assuming I will need to oder. How long does it take to recieve the tires/rims and to get them installed? How long will you need my car?

I would check out Tirerack.com. They have killer deals on tire/wheel packages, and usually shipping if free with those.

Sounds very similar to a guy that once won an NSX playing online poker. Your not related to Nicholas Sitko are you?

Welcome. Love the Cayman, I'd tell you to come see me at O'Reilly for parts but I wont have any for the Porsche, except maybe your filters. Now the truck on the other hand, I have enough parts to build one in my backroom lol. I can second the fact that you can make a living playing online poker. One of my brother's best friends moved to Vegas for like a year and a half, never "worked" just played poker online... in Vegas.

The key is to stay mentally focused and never let "bad beats" take you down.
If you look me up on tableratings.com my screen name is SilentAssasin3, and if you look at my worst beat, (which was insane, runner runner flushed out, with top set) that single pot costed me $32,000 - but you have to take the bad with the good.
