You got it man! The big difference will be if you run 295's or 305's in the rear. The 305's still work, but they are pretty far out - that's what I'm running now. I think the 295's will tuck nicely under the fenders.
The wheels are easy to clean. One swipe through each of the "fins" on the spokes and they're done. Plus a simple five spoke wheel. Nothing like the challenge of a P40 or similar weave wheel. And the factory polished finish really looks dynamite. Besides that, the strength of a forged wheel? Can't beat it. Keep in mind that multi piece HRE wheels and other types have spun cast barrels and only forged centers. The barrels bend like butter.

RyeM3 is correct...thanks. I doubted you on a previous post, but I concur now after seeing them with my own eyes on a C2. They look great.

It's been raining here fora few days so it hard to tell but, the car rides remarkably better with the Pzeros over the PS2's. My PS2's were pretty done as well.

I find my Pzeros a little noisy and I also find they get flat easily after sitting a few days then get better when they warm up.

I've got an 04 996 C4S with the Turbo wheels, do you know anyone that accepts trade ins? I like the Turbo II much better..

I think the the Classics do look dated, very 996-ish. Too many 996's with them, IMHO. Also, many other models (993, 964, 944) have them installed by owners who like the low weight and take-off / used price.
I don't like the Turbo wheels either, particularly not the .1 turbo.

My favorite wheels are the Sport Designs, but they're only 18", so that's probably out. Next would be the 997 GT3 19", Boxster Spyder, and Carrera Sports. Any of those would also look great in black.

Good luck!

I have a 997.1tt. I put the Fuchs replicas on and love them. Not sure if NB fitament is available. You can paint the spokes on the classic and get a similar effect

The Turbo's are awesome, but the Classic's really make the car,they are simple and understated.
