I have and like the classics on my 991S. They are a bitch to clean compared to my old turbo twist. Five seconds per wheel would do the job on those. The classics take five minutes kneeling on my hose.

And this is why Porsche offers 4-5 wheel choices. Different folks for different strokes.
GGreg911, car looks great.

Thank you everyone for your advice and thoughts on this. I choose to go with the Carrera Classic Wheels. I located an untitled 2013 Black Metallic w/Expresso Natural Leather, Carrera 2S CAB 991 w/2500 miles on OD, which I am picking up later this afternoon and had the option to choose wheels of my choosing. Will post pictures next week.

Everyone is going to pick the wheels they have, so somewhat of a dead end. But look at the pros and cons between the two. spacers are no big deal. they cost less than the premium to get the sport technos and can look more aggressive.
Classics:
darker inner parts. never really appears dirty. however, more common than turbos obviously.
Turbos:
more unique. harder to clean. some might think you're posing with turbo wheels on non-turbo car (I'm not one of those)
The Classic and Turbo wheels have a similar design with many spokes, so I see the dilemma. The Sport Technos are totally different, and it's all about your taste.
