Default Carrera Sport Wheels on 991.2 Picture Posts

If you are fortunate enough to have these wheels on your new car, or have pictures of them on a 911, could you please post pictures to share? I understand that they look different in person and that they are hard to photograph... but I would still love to see them on different models.

I am debating GT silver metallic or midnight blue. I still have a bit of time to decide. Many thanks in advance.

In my thread I have pictures of the sport wheel (with a GT Silver C4S): https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9264...991-2-c4s.html

The first post has links to the other posts where I have pictures.

I saw your beautiful car! I went through the 5 pages of posts and I kept getting mesmerized by the photos. I still can't tell if the wheels are natural or painted. I keep trying to read the fine details to see about the wheels, but those pictures... Beautiful Vivek. Very elegant.

That was the standard color, I wanted to get them painted to match the GT Silver, but I don't think that was available when I ordered. The contrast seems to work okay for me (may change my mind in the future). Overall I like the wheels and was happy with the selection.

These wheels can really change the character of a 991.2
They can be both elegant and striking at the same time. Hats off to the early adopters! There are not many of you. Nice.

Here they are on GT Silver. In the standard platinum color, the middle section of the spokes almost match the color of the car but are a bit darker. I'm not a fan of dark wheels, so I didn't opt for black which would have given some contrast. I think they'll look great on a Midnight car. In person, they have a nice "dish" to them which is hard to capture in pictures.

budrichard--I love the black/silver Sport Wheels. I think I made a grave error not ordering the same for my car (I have the standard Sport Wheel). I'm calling a shop I know does quality work in the morning and get a quote for wheel painting.

When I first saw these wheels on the configurator I thought to myself "why in the world would anyone order these" but after seeing them in person at the dealer, I completely changed my mind. The configurator does not do them justice at all. The rear dish on the 4S I saw looked amazing. Great looking wheels!

Can you post another picture from the side?
It is next to impossible to get pics of these wheels. The agate grey and GT silver seem to be the most common (if you can call them common). You have been one of the few to order painted Carrera Sport Wheels! Congrats and thank you for sharing.

The configurator is really bad so I don't blame people for not risking this option.

I am still anxious to see a picture of these wheels on a dark/night blue coupe. Can anybody help? Thank you.

Thanks Richard. There is something classic about your wheels that are both modern and traditional at the same time. Again, hats off for being different and one of the first to experiment. I like what you put together!

There are some pretty creative individuals here. Tom's GT silver with the red roof and sport wheels looks pretty good too.

Reviving this thread to see if anyone else has good pictures or videos with these wheels on their car.
