I am in the final process of configuring my Jet Black Metallic w/Expresso Natural Leather, Carrera 2S CAB 991. Now the hard part is the wheel selection, 20" Carrera Classic or 20" Turbo Wheels? I really like the Turbo Wheels, but they look like they would be rather difficult to clean.

Looking for recommendations, thoughts and opinions.

 

I'd go for the Classic.

 

Neither. Sport technos painted black

 

The turbo wheels would be my choice. I was giving that a hard look for my 991. Let us know what you decide. 👍

 

I would say turbo over classic (though classic are very nice too). However, as someone else said the sport techno wheels are awesome (you won't need spacers with these as the wheels in the back are 305s.) Black on espresso will be very nice. Good luck!

 

Everyone is going to pick the wheels they have, so somewhat of a dead end. But look at the pros and cons between the two. spacers are no big deal. they cost less than the premium to get the sport technos and can look more aggressive.
Classics:
darker inner parts. never really appears dirty. however, more common than turbos obviously.
Turbos:
more unique. harder to clean. some might think you're posing with turbo wheels on non-turbo car (I'm not one of those)
The Classic and Turbo wheels have a similar design with many spokes, so I see the dilemma. The Sport Technos are totally different, and it's all about your taste.

 

Here's mine

 

You have the Carrera S wheel in Platinum, I saw these on a black 991 Cab at dealership but felt I would be happier with a little more contrast on the wheels with the Silver/Platinum combination of the Classics or Turbo wheels. Likewise the silver Carrera S wheel is to much contrast on the black. Carrera S wheel as a whole is one of my favorites, but not right for me on this car. Also the new car will have Bi-Xenon™ Headlights in Black and body paint matched washer heads.

You have a great looking car.

 

Thanks

 

Thank you everyone for your advice and thoughts on this. I choose to go with the Carrera Classic Wheels. I located an untitled 2013 Black Metallic w/Expresso Natural Leather, Carrera 2S CAB 991 w/2500 miles on OD, which I am picking up later this afternoon and had the option to choose wheels of my choosing. Will post pictures next week.

 

Wohoo! Congrats. That is the way to buy a car, tremendous savings. What options does it have? Enjoy it, I am looking forward to the pics.

 

Can't go wrong with either one but if it was mine, I'd pick the Classic wheels.
It makes the 911 look "classic" and fits the car's image perfectly.

 

Between those two, Classics hands down.
I like the Turbo wheels in the Macan though.

 

Well the turbo wheels are going to be found on almost every porsche so I would steer away plus they are very busy

I love the classics and the sport technos in black


Also love the 911 50th edition wheels but they have the same fate as the turbo wheels

 

Picked up NEW 2013 CAB yesterday, I went with the Carrera Classic Wheel. 5mm front & 7 MM rear spacers, My pictures of new 991 are in this forum under my "My New 991 CAB from 997.2 CAB" post
