Phantom all day long. I still think the wheels you have on yours are the best aftermarket wheels for that vehicle.

Mike, do your wheels have those same crazy cool weighted centers on spinners so that the RR logo is always properly aligned to read the "RR"?

Thank you Mythic, I agree. Would rather have a Flying Spur as it's more sporty. The Ghost and Phantom drive very similar.

Edit:

Prefer the Phantom as I told you via PM, it is more of a "sense of occasion car" the Ghost doesn't even feel half as special. Driving the Phantom is an occasion alone, it is such the epitome of luxury.
Thanks for clearing that up Mo! I wondered why they gave the Ghost such a cheap looking key. Dealer never even pointed that out to me. Glad you feel the same way, especially since you basically own both

Like I said, both are great cars. I just wouldn't have both, it would be either or. It literally feels like a boat on wheels. It's extremely quiet, and glides over bumps. Come to a turn and you feel like you're going to roll

Thanks Alex, I prefer something more ordinary. Drawing attention 24/7 is something that would not be comfortable for me A Cayenne is the perfect car for that!

Probably around 1000 miles out of the 4000? Took it cross country a year back. He loves it!

I don't have anything new to add I'm sure you've seen all the existing pics already.

Thanks 670, I doubt it. They are too similar to justify. If the Ghost was faster and handled a bit better, then I would say possibly.

Thanks Robert, appreciate it

You're welcome tips! It was an enjoyable weekend

Yes, that's why I went with this wheel. Or I would stay OEM. It uses the OEM center caps which I think is an important feature of the car.

Some more pics.

Outrageous - such a pimp.

Do you walk around with a pimp cane when you drive it?

Actually, found a pic of Mike!

You're killing me Josh

At least my coat matches with the exterior paint and the brown in the leopard spots can match the interior
