Poll: Which wheels should I keep

Please help me decide what wheels to keep. I bought a pair of Polished Turbo Twists for a good price and put them on.

Then a friend of mine said I could take his Sport Classics for a song as he was going to 19" Gemballas.

I like the chrome on the Turbos, but the bolts on the Classics sure look good.

What do you think?

BTW: Anyone ever seen the yellow and blue top and interior match up that I have?

Thanks for your opinions!

The second set are NOT Sport Classics... They are "Sport Design" wheels.

The sport design wheel looks more modern out of the two choices.

Sport Classic's would look even better.

I don't think chrome wheels have any place on a 993, unless you plan on adding a neon underbody kit and gold chain license plate frame.

The chrome makes the wheels slightly heavier and will eventually rust.

My vote is the Sport Designs, no question.

You're kidding, right ? Dump the cheesy-chromed-twists and keep the Sport Designs, no question.

I concur: dump the chrome! (with no offense to anyone that has chrome <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" /> )

Those Sport Designs look great BTW.

I think chrome wheels have no place on a Porsche, to me they look tacky. The Sports Design wheels actually look good on a 993, especially with speed yellow.
