Default Wheels of choice for the GTS.....

What's everyones thoughts on their favorite wheels on the GTS from an aesthetics point of view? Taking into account the sportiness of most GTS builds, I think some of the wheels work better than others might on a normal "classy" Panny.

Choices:
1. Turbo II
2. RS Spyder
3. Silver Sports Design
4. Black Sports Design
5. Color matched to body Sports Design

Feel free to post your pics?!

IMO, the turbos are by far the most attractive. A great design that looks good on the cayennes, pannys, and turbos.

I had the Turbo II wheels - but switched to HRE P40's. I found the Turbo II's are the most sought after and were easy to move should you decided to make a change. I also stayed with 20" so I could use the same tires and believe that changing to larger wheels compromised the ride and handling.

I think it depends on the color of the car. For white and red, I prefer the Spyder design. For Agate and Black, I prefer the Turbo II.

I went with the black sport design cause the rears are 11.5 inch instead of 11 and I already have the turbo wheels on the cayenne!

I agree it mostly depends on the color of the car. Mine is Yachting Blue and I prefer the Spyders for the darker color cars (with the possible exception of black). I generally think 5-spoke rims, and therefore the Turbo II rims, look sportier too.

Everyone has the turbo IIs in my hood. I could take that to mean that most people like the Turbos. Taking that thought a step further, getting non-Turbo wheels would make the car a little different from the others.

Tons of Turbo wheels on eBay too. People will draw their own conclusions from that.

PUR has been doing well and getting more and more recognized with their high end wheels. Just another option for you.
