Think about replacing the gold center caps and going with the classic silver ones. Not sure if they will fit, none listed under the Turbo but they are likely the same size as all the other Carrera 5 lug wheels.

Turbo. Im biased. Also the worst of the lot re cleaning. Takes 50% longer than me Classics took even tho both were coated. But for me totally worth the effort.

Yup, I'm getting a silver car and chose 5 black spokes classics. So that means your black car should get 5 silver spoke classics. Then when we run into each other our cars will cancel to a neutral image?

The 3rd picture from the top.
I love those wheels, I wish they would have been offered on the Carrera S I have on order. I really wanted them. Those say classic Porsche to me.

I'm biased but the forged Turbo wheels:
I picked the above shot because it is the only one I have quick access to that shows the concavity/dish of the rear wheels. The other two wheel options lack this and I feel with the widebody cars it enhances the look.
For those who say they are hard to clean, everything but the machined spokes is grey. Can't see the brake dust on those areas. BTW I suggest leaving them grey for this reason, otherwise if you paint them black like you mentioned then you'll notice the black barrels and painted areas around the spokes become dull matte black.
Get the wheels treated with Ceramic Pro and/or swap to Centric semi metallic low dust pads (unless you are planning to track it). Once a week wipe down the polished spokes with a shop towel. With a good wheel cleaner like Griots or P21S you can just spray and let it sit and the hose will take it off.
Why limit your wheel choice when the wheel is on the car ALL the time because every once and a while it might take a few more minutes to wash
Adding some real life pics on a black 991.2 Turbo to help you out:
