Turbo wheels are unpleasant to clean.

If custom aftermarket wheels weren't an option I'd go with choice number 1 hands down.

I should have done a better job of making both sets of pics in order - I am curious now: do you mean the silver painted carrera sport or the Turbo wheels?

Yes, the silver painted Carrera sport wheels.

Which of these 5 lug options would you choose? (Note that I'd probably have the standard Turbo wheels with the painted option - which paints the grey part black. Doesn't show up on the 2D configurator unfortunately).

I like my car to look like it just came off the showroom floor; all the time. I knew cleaning the new 305 wide wheels with brake dust will be a pain so I chose wheels that were a compromise between attractive looks and least spokes. You have to choose based on what is important to you. We all have opinions / reasons why we like one over the other. My vote, if you still want, black on black 5 spoke.

Have to agree with everyone about cleaning the Turbo wheels. They look like a nightmare.

But those aren't really Fuchs. I'd prefer the Fuchs with black centers and silver lip over any of these.

Even though the turbo wheels are superior (forged) I would pass unless I were going with PCCBs.

Obviously, highly subjective... but between the Turbo and SC wheels, I think the Sport Classics are the better looking wheel.

Do you want the murdered out look of all black? If not, the silver Sport Classics on the black are a beautiful contrast. You might also want to consider the High Gloss Aluminum window trim. I would say this whole look would be my first choice:
Black Turbo
Silver Sport Classics
Black/Luxor two-tone leather interior
Aluminum Window Trim
Rear Wiper
CLASSIC!!!

If you really want the all black look go with the high-gloss black Sport Classics with the black LEDs and no aluminum window trim.

Can't go wrong either way but I think your interior color also plays a role in your decision making. It looks like you're going with black so no big deal either way.
