I think the claws define the 997 just like the Fuchs defined the earlier 911's.
Both are good lightweight designs that say Porsche when you see them.
That said, I am a big fan of the Turbo II's.
I would submit that the more relevant question would be will the all-black wheels of today become the equivalent of the gold mesh BBS's of the 80's?

The D90s are just all round horrible. They do not even look good aged.
I keep a set of BBS wheels in the garage for a 964 in the event I ever buy a 964 that has D90s.
Lobster forks look great. They could be called Cup III.....
When ever I see a clean plain jane 997 on Lobsters i cant help but want one. Especially in black or silver. The contrast are very nice IMO.

I stand corrected on the whole "claws vs forks" thing...I never eat lobster so my ignorance has shown in this area. Forks it is!
I guess I'm doing well then, haha. I just swapped my stock lobster forks for turbo IIs, and I like the turbos so much more.
With that being said, I also am thinking the relative dislike of the lobstahs now=potential future classic. I've got mine on the wall in the garage and, who knows, they may go back on the car in 20 years or so
I love them, and not only because my car has them. They actually blew me away the first time I saw them and accentuated the improved design of the 997 over its predecessor.
I think the Turbo IIs might be my choice now, and the new 10-spoke 991 wheels are growing on me, but the lobsters are my favorite (or second favorite) 997 wheel.
