Default Need urgent advice on wheels

Decided to go with dark blue metallic cab with blue top and need to lock the order

I can do s wheels painted body color or painted black But the wheel I really like are the Turbo s wheel which is not on the configuration for a 991 carerra cab

Can I still order it ?

If not what wheel goes with this exterior color combo

Thx in advance

I like the graphite color I see some guys on this forum have. I think it looks great on the blue.

You can't get the TurboS wheels for the C2S. Maybe consider the SportTechno wheels painted black? They have the similar chrome/black look of the TurboS wheels.

I'd go with the S wheels, preferably as they come. Body color, fine with me though most guys seem to hate paint matched wheels. Black? With Dark Blue Metallic? No way!

My vote. The Sport Techno wheel. Not painted. Standard.

Has anyone weighed a painted wheel as compared to the standard silver finish? I saw a trashed painted wheel at the track last month and the paint looked very thick and heavy. Not saying the OP cares, but I was surprised.

Good choice. Its the lightest, cheapest wheel. Painted DBM to match will look sharp, and not show brake dust as much as the original color.

+1. Although the turbo (non S) wheel is forged if the weight matters that much.

Unless you know something certain you'd like to share I wouldn't put too much stock in "forged". I've heard Sport Techno's referred to as forged- they're not, they are the heaviest of all the 991 wheel choices. More often than not forged turns out to be form flow. Would be nice if Porsche did offer a forged wheel, a real forged wheel like the old Fuchs not these cast/machined/flow-form mixed things.
