New wheels for my C2S -- Carrera Classic or 997 Turbo?
#17
I have the Classics on my C2S but am quite taken with the new Carrera S II wheel. I think its a nice aggressive look that works well with the car. My dealer will call me when they get some take offs on a new car where the owner wanted something different.

My choice. Not sure the look good with all colors, but they really look nice on silver. BUT I have a set of all seasons for the winter on my Carrera Classics. I roll on both - best of both worlds and I change with the seasons.

If you are going to spend on a set of OEM wheels, why not the CarreraS II wheels? I think they really look good on a C2S and later on when you get tired of the look, you can always have them powder coated black or gun metal grey for your black car. It would look awesome.

As you can tell from my avatar, I went with Turbo wheels but my second choice was Carrera S II wheels, then Sport Designs. The Classics are just too plain for me - there's not much to the traditional 5-spoke design, but yes, easy to clean!

I have been asking a similar question on a previous post. I have a C2S with "Lobster Claws" I really like the front wheel...looks large and you can easily see the red caliper inside. It's the rear wheel that looks whimpy to me. I put 5mm spacers on them...still whimpy. I saw a red C2S with Turbo wheels....not the NB fitment, and the car looks aggressive but still OEM. I like the aftermarket different rims out there, but I am a big fan of keeping the car stock. My personal debate is whether the Turbo wheels only belong on a turbo. I went to a dealer and saw a 2010 C4S with Turbo rims...I think I have made up my mind to switch to Turbo rims. Plus I think putting 8.5's on the front improve handling...so it is not just a cosmetic decision....

Agreed! I think the Turbo wheels are too busy and they look like a ***** to clean.

I did consider the Carrera S II wheels at first but decided I preferred the Carrera Classic and the 997 Turbo wheels. I find the Carrera S II are too similar to the Boxster III wheels as well.

I did go to the dealership last night with the intentions of comparing both wheels. Unfortunately they didn't have any with the Carrera Classics. The closest thing they had was a yellow C2 with the 997 Carrera III wheels. Not really convinced they look close enough to the Classics to do a fair comparison. On the plus side, there was a customers C2S with the WB offset 997 Turbo wheels. I'm sold on the WB wheels now -- the look was awesome and it was almost perfectly flush. The extra concavity and aggressive look is sweet! Still not sure which I will get…
