I, like many others here prefer Option 1. They are a great looking wheel in platinum and show off the brakes/rotors.

option 1, and as mentioned lots of aftermarket options if you need a second set.

Option 1. My Guards Red C2S has the Carrera S rims but in silver and they look awesome, IMO. Looks good in platinum, too.

Check out the Sport Techno wheels. Easy to clean and you can even clean the inside without removing the wheels. Bonus is they're 1/2" wider. They can be ordered painted to match the car or even any other colour that Porsche has. Or get them painted aftermarket for under $1,000.

Option 2: Turbo Wheels (couldn't find a GR CS2 with these wheels)

Any help is definitely appreciated!
I am having the same dilemma, I love the look of the Platinum Satin with a silver car, but I think I have already seen them on at least a half dozen cars here in SoCal, so that kind of blew my enthusiasm for them even though I think they look great.

I have been playing with the configurator and just discovered that you can get the turbo wheel on the C4 and so far I think it looks the best with the configuration I have come up with, Silver C4, with Red interior, PCCB, Aerokit etc, so I am screwed no matter what. I don't like the looks of the Turbo and no MT to boot, I don't think the base models look balanced and complete, so that is why I like the Aerokit, most people won't know what it is anyway!

But, being a previous Porsche owner I have learned one thing, when I had a Cayman, 50% of the non Porsche people had no idea what it was and called it a 911 Turbo, Carrera etc, the other 50% said it's not a 911 so it's not a real Porsche, just a copy! Thanks! And, 50% of Porsche people are going to love your configuration and 50% of Porsche people will find fault, it's a fake Turbo, or wrong wheels, wrong color combo! It's just life and I have learned to just build what I want since I am paying for it and you can't please 100% of people if you tried!

So I still say don't get the Turbo wheels because I am selfish and I want to have the only one with Turbo wheels on a C2, C4!

Frst, in your signature you mention your black interior with red stitching. I'd love to see it so could you post some pics? Sorry if I've gone off-topic.

The S wheel is the lightest factory wheel option and is a lot less busy looking and more classic than the turbo wheel. I hate the turbo wheels because to me, they look like you are trying to be something you aren't (if you want a turbo wheel, get the turbo

A few more. I did the gauges in black with red chrono and belts and also chose the steering wheel stitching. Got the matching floor mats done at loyds mats. It turned out well. The darker wheels make it more aggressive looking but unlike black ones you can still see the details and I like that much more.
