Default Turbo II Wheel vs. S2 Wheel

I am going to give my '06 997 a little cosmetic upgrade and I am looking at both the new Turbo II wheel and the S2 wheel.

I am torn which wheel would look better on a Guards Red 997.

Anyone have any input or pictures of both wheel on GR?

Thanks. Tom

I can visualize the Turbo IIs, but what do the S2s look like?

Not on Guards, but might help.....

I think Turbo IIs would look good on Guards, don't know S2.

Thanks for the pictures, Storonto. That is a good looking 997 with those wheels and I love the color combination. Well done.

The S2 wheel came out as standard equipment on the 2009 S. It has the appearance of a star. It isn't overly exciting, however, for some odd reason, I think it is a good-looking wheel.

I am strongly leaning towards the Turbo II.

I'm a big fan of the Turbo IIs. They're impressive looking on any Pcar.

So I picked up a black 997.2 a few months ago. I've been thinking when the tires wear out ill replace the rims. Was thinking of going with black rims. But seeing that picture above...i think i want Turbo II's now! Are those 19" rims? Your cars beautiful.

Can't go wrong with either. I have the stock lobster forks, but I picked up a set of the IIs for my street driving. Love the look of the IIs, but if $ is not an issue, I'd go with the Turbo IIs.
