I don't actually know what you're talking about. I assume C2 vs C4... Have a link showing the difference? Mine above is rear wheel drive

Sport design were my least favorite 991 wheels...but my first 991.1 had them and they grew on me.

To be honest, though, I like pretty much all the OEM wheels on the 991.

I personally like those wheels however, theyre a bIt harder to clean as the narrow openings between the spokes make the barrels of the wheels quite difficult to access with your hands.

These two things are fantastic for that.

Pics of the same car, one with with Classics, the other with ST’s. For the pic with the top down, my son was happy to be driving that day

I got some woolie brushes on eBay from a seller in China and they were cheap and the best ones I have found: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=322896929975&view=all&tid=19975344290 11

Here is their store: https://www.ebay.com/str/sdexpressusa

This is one of the best looking stock 991.1 cars I have seen; wheels are flush and look as good as they are gonna look.

My wife took one look at this and said "why does such an otherwise aggressive car have such feminine wheels? That baby needs those HRE wheels I love!" (the P101)

I think the Turbo or Sport Techno (black and silver, not all silver) look best of the OEM wheels, but there are plenty of better options from aftermarket companies. GT cars get more aggressive designs

Ugh. I typically like those, but this particular set looks akin to spinners on an Escalade. Too much silver.

Yeah C2 vs C4.

The AWD version has a lower offset and more concave wheel on the rears.. AWD: 52 offset RWD: 71 offset. The RWD version of the wheels look flat.

Not easy to see in pictures but in person there's noticeable difference.

I mean to say RAD II.

Couple of example pics.. Again, in person it's definitely noticeable.

C4S


C2S



Either way.. Carrera Classics are very sharp when clean.. The look amazing while the car is rolling too.

​​​​​​Oh wow! I'd never seen these concave. Call me biased but I really do like the flat-faced look of mine

My favs are the Carrera S IV" alloy wheels with open five-spoke design

Fair enough! How about less contrast?

Everyones got their own tastes right? No shame in what you like more..

FYI All C4 versions of any carrera wheel are concave in the rear. Including all the other wheels shown in this thread.

Wow I can't believe all the hate for those carrera classics. My car has 20" Carrera S wheels for summer but I chose the 19" version of the (ugly?) carrera classics for my winter wheels. Love them!!!!
