Deciding between two builds - advice
Hello,
My freeze date comes up in a couple of weeks. I am deciding between the following Carrera S builds. The only difference is the exterior: wheels, badging, trim. Would appreciate any advice deciding between the two.
EDIT: This will also be a vehicle that i keep long term and drive daily for 5-10 years.

Second build with the Carrera Classics would be my choice, the Turbo wheels are a bit too busy. That color really does well with some silver/chrome/polished accents like the window trim IMO.

I prefer build one. The only change I’d suggest is going with the Sport Seats Plus or upgrading to Adaptive Sport Seats Plus. The standard sport seats look cheap, and honestly, I’m not a fan.

I personally think that's the best wheel look on the 992.2

I’d do Carerra Classic wheels on this colour. I’ve seen the combination in my dealer’s showroom and the classic wheels tie in nicely with the chrome trim. I’ll echo other comments about making sure you see the colour, especially in the sun. The colour looks deep and darkish in the showroom and in pictures but outside it has a bit of a candy cane appearance (but in green, of course) and shows a bit of yellow. It’s a nice colour, but you want to make sure you are happy with it in all lighting conditions.

I would go with the Carrera Classic wheels. I think they look the best with OGM neo. Be aware that the Anthracite grey wheels are considerably darker in real life than they appear on the configurator.
