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!!!!
I had the Carrera Classics on my .1 S and didn’t care for them. A multi-spoke wheel like them is more of luxury look, as has been stated, and to my eye doesn’t fit the 911 persona. Otherwise, they’re a nice looking wheel— just not for a sports car. I ended up buying aftermarket wheels and sold my CCs. I got $1,200 for the set. And it took a while to get a buyer.
When I bought my car, I wasn't too keen on them. I originally wanted the Platinum Silver Carrera S III wheels (coincidentally for sale right now in the Marketplace), but the Carrera Classics have definitely grown on me. They're more elegant/sophisticated than sporty. I'm keepin' em. I have other wheels for when I want to get "sporty."

I wanted silver SO BADLY. Love your ride, and love your wheels.
Everyone has a favorite, but those are by no means considered an ugly wheel. I agree with the comments that they are less sporty and more elegant. To the degree that they are certainly not right for my T, but that didn't stop me from buying a set. Unless you find a car below value(and therefore enticing to buy another set.), I would just search for one with wheels you like.
Hey guys. I'm looking for my first 911S and I keep running across these rims. Is it me or are they UGLY? I just can't find myself buying a car with these rims and its eliminating a lot of options. Are these worth anything on the resale market?? Would love to hear your opinions....
If you don't like them, best is sell those wheels and use the money gained from that to offset the cost of some forged wheels, if you don't want to spend too much, then go with some Flow Flow type wheels.
