I'm not sold on the Fuchs but they are slowly growing on me. I like them more than Technos because they are a balanced 5-spoke in their design. Definitely easy to clean.

Thanks shaytun... your are correct the inside housing and lip are painted dark gray...they are very easy to clean.

The wheels on the 50th are super easy to clean. I was able to get all round with just a wash mitt that I have dedicated to wheels, and there's enough space to get all the way to the back of the barrel and the back of the spokes too.

I hate it when I kneel on my hose.

Not sure if the base C4 has a 305. Nor the 911_50.
Base C (2019) with Carrera S wheel:

Set of alloy wheels with dynamic open-ended 10-spoke design.

Rear-wheel-drive models
Front: 8.5 J x 20 ET 49 with 245/35 ZR 20 tires,
Rear: 11.5 J x 20 ET 76 with 305/30 ZR 20 tires

All-wheel-drive models
Front: 8.5 J x 20 ET 49 with 245/35 ZR 20 tires,
Rear: 11.5 J x 20 ET 56 with 305/30 ZR 20 tires

My preference is Classic over Turbo.

It is a trade-off. These look great on a black car and don't show the dirt much, but thorough cleaning between the spokes is time consuming.

I'm biased, as I have the Carrera Classic wheels, but on your build, the Turbo wheels look too "busy" to me. Between the 2, I'd go for the more elegant Classics. BTW, good choice on the interior. I get tired of the black interiors on so many 911s - though it's obviously popular.

Wow, is the OP still on here, has he still got the car? Are both still alive?
Personally, I hate any wheels with machined or bright chromey edges. Too 'in your face' and repair issue when you kerb 'em. Can't beat the Carrera S wheels, painted satin platinum, IMHO.
