I prefer the look of the Carrera Classic wheels on your build color. The contrast pops more, you can see more of the brake calipers and like others have said, and after owning the Spyder wheels, they are a PITA to clean.
I went back and forth with the RS wheels but agree that Agate needs a little contrast, I ended up going with the turbo wheels
Damn...Just when I think I have my build all set--someone posts something like this and tempts me to change my wheels yet again! This looks gorgeous too.
I considered the Turbo wheels for a long time, except that they are pretty much a design available since the 991 and have crossed over to the Macan and Taycan, and I wanted something more unique to the 911. Now on the 911 the Turbo wheels will be rare, because almost no one gets them, and most TT an TTS have upgraded to a different option. But I have Classics and love them. They were the right choice for sure. My other option would have been the Exclusives with the black making them pop. Either way you can't go wrong. The Classics are more sporty. The Exclusives feel more old man, lux.

I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with the RS Spyders, although the Turbo wheels look great because they are different and - before I lock- I am driving myself crazy considering every option. The Classics are cool--but if Exclusives are more old man lux--I will totally stay away since I'm not old/man :-) I have Spyders on my current car--and I have them ceramic coated--and they look great and are pretty easy to clean. I'm in Boston- so my car wears winter tires/wheels a sizeable portion of the year anyway.
One thing I liked on the Classics vs Spyders is the Classics are a shiny finish and spyders are matted.
I keep going back and forth. I don't remember exactly what I did--but I think the ceramic coating on my current wheels make the spyders look less matt. I just hope I lock soon because every day I say "this is it" and pick one...and then someone posts a picture of the other and I drive myself crazy.

Not sure who says Exclusives are old man lux. I always wanted the Exclusives in high gloss black, but I didn’t like the price of entry. So I debated getting the less expensive Carrera Classic wheels. In the end, I got the Exclusives in high gloss black because I didn’t want to settle. When I showed my 25 year old son my configuration, the first thing he said was thank God you got the best looking wheels.

I was responding to a quote where someone called them old man lux. I've never seen them in person....but just stating that I am not in that demographic. Honestly, I think if you are looking for a good old man lux look--you should go to MB or BMW.
