Like this?

I'm still glad that I didn't go with the carrera classics because they look too big on light colors but somehow look beautiful especially on the dark blue color that was advertised

Yes that's the one but the picture doesn't show the gloss. In person they have a beautiful shine on them

Wonder why they're not an option on the other wheels?

Is it just me, or does this not look like a "wide body" with the Carrera Classics? Is that due to the door detail?

I'm not sure what you are referring too but somehow those wheels does seem to be bigger in proportion to the size of the car.

the angle of the first pic makes the rear fenders seem to flare out more?

I seem to be in the minority here but I love these wheels. Easy to clean, though not an issue with the PCCB's. Some wheels look too big or too bling. These are on the plain, simple side but that's the look I like with an understated, white, non-turbo, clean simple lines of a classic 911. I had black wheels with my GTS and they were hard to clean and looked like black holes where there should be wheels. To each his own. One thing that makes ordering a Porsche special is the ability to get it exactly how you want it.

Default Theese might do well for street use...

In brushed they work well too.
