Well... my car came with Sport Designs and I immediately did not care for them and they were a pain to clean. I bought Fuchs teplicas with new tires. Loved the look. Then got some beautiful OEM Turbo IIs which are now my favorite. Weird but the Sport Designs are actually growing on me. Not enough to put them back on just yet though. So, my pick is the Carreras Sports. LOVE them.

Looks great. I prefer the Carrera Sport with mudguards. Either way the mudguards add a nice touch.

You Got my vote, just on cleaning the wheels alone!!! ... Although I am a bit biased Carrera Sports with Black Stone Guards all the way

btw... are any of those other 911's in that garage space yours too?

Another vote for the Carrera Sports ... but I'm also biased

Not a fan of the black stone guards though.

Now, this is the kind of pics that got me on the "wrong path" Looks really really god. There are quite a few nice cars in the bat cave. We are a group that share the space.

I select choice C - neither. The Sport Design.wheels,though made by BBS and very light, don't look like they belong on a sports car to me. They were the first thing we sold off of my wife's car when we bought it, replacing them with GT3 wheels.

The other option reminds me of an old wheel that used to be an option on the 914 and they. I like the mesh styles, concave styles, split 5-spoke styles, etc on 911s.

If you want a 3rd option, I have these for sale

Love the stone guards but have never liked the Carrera Sports. They look like they belong on a Buick Park Avenue.
