Sport Technos on a SPASM equipped Carrera are hands down the best wheel design Porsche has ever offered, save for maybe the original Fuchs. I don't know why Porsche didn't keep them in the option mix for the .2 and the 992.

IMO they are the ugliest wheel on the 991.. Especially in black.. They look like they're made by Fisher Price. I can totally see why Porsche killed them off.

Here's a pic of my 19" winter wheels which compliments the snow and convertible quite nicely.

They look like they belong on 90's japanese entry level cars or one of those cheap-o wheels they try to package with new tires at Pep Boys/Discount Tire.

Wheels are so subjective, just like paint color. I personally like them as they look good and are easy to clean. If you hated them but everything else checks out you could easily sell them and purchase whatever wheels you wanted.

Your car looks amazing!

I am in agreement. They're kind of awful

I like the 991.1 turbo S ones. I got a winter wheel set for my car. I like the 991.2 GTS/Turbo S, but not as much as I don’t dig the twist as much. Only the turbo look wheels and the GT car wheels are forged, which is nice to have. Not sure if they are actually lighter. I wish I had five lugs. IME 5 lug turbo wheels are rarely selected on Carreras, but look sharp. Probably a pain to clean with all the spokes, but cost no object that would be my choice.

All the sport techno I see here are black? Is that an option? Personally I like the regular silver/polished finishing like the one I see at Suncoast
