Default 997S with Turbo Wheels
Hi all,

need to finalize order On my 997S...

Still doubting the wheel choice...
between colored (black) Sportdesigns or the two-tone turbo wheels...
(On a black/black 997S)


Anybody has pictures of a normal 997S On turbo wheels (preferably a black 997)...
Is this blasfemy, turbo wheels On a non-turbo?

all opinions welcome!


regards,
kris

I'd go for Black - its a real chore cleaning the silver ones - not the outside of the rims but inside; which look really bad when dirty (brake pad dust/rain etc). Wish I had black on mine now!!

Ah - didn't know that - but the sports design's are a better looking wheel by far! (IMO)

Not black, but a dark gray.
