Does anyone have any specs/info on the SportTechnos? The Porsche website has basically nothing, and what info they do have is incorrect (they are not 295 in the rear, they are 305). :/

Carcam, add one to the minority!!! This looks great.

Don't get me wrong, it does look great... Personally, I like the other three options better (but none are a clear winner, hence this thread, lol).

Not a fan of sport techno - for some reason they look plain to me.

I love the classic wheels with white and most other colors. To me looks most aggressive.

Std S wheels look fantastic when clean. Maybe more refined?

It's a toss up. If it were me - I'd probably go classic with white.

I have guards red with std s wheels.

I like the Carrera Classic Wheel but I ordered the Sport Techno Wheel because they don't require wheel-spacers and come with 305s in the rear. More Rubber!! I didn't order the PCCB's so I will be cleaning wheels quite often and the Techno's make it easy. I have also heard the Sport Techno's are lighter than the other wheels but I cannot confirm this. Tough Choices...I should get my car in 3 weeks and i'll be happy to send you some detailed pics of Platinum Silver with the Sport Techno's. The wait is unbearable...

I'm getting my wheels redone and love the color in this picture, do you know the color of the wheels?

Aftermarket wheels that appealed to me, made me realize the Carrera Classics I already had were
the best.....
