I saw them on the launch car at my dealer and they looked perfect. It made me feel good about my decision.

I vote for A. Turbo wheels look too complex on top of silver piller for Targa, it could be a bit over the top. Also, Turbo wheels may be harder to clean. Remember for Carrera classic wheels you get 4/4S for which the rears have an offset, deep dish/concave look vs. S.

I have Carrera Classics but like both. If the price is close, I would probably choose the second .

Sorry are you saying that the classics are more concave or the 4s are in general or the classics on the 4s are....my build is a 4s.

I love the Classics but for some reason the Turbo wheels seem to work better on the Targa.

With either wheel are factory spacers worth it on the 4s body? Noticeable difference? Won't go aftermarket for now so just factory.

Carreras Classic look but the turbo wheels look better. I vote for the second option.

Do it, I went with OE 5mm in my 4S and there is a noticeable difference.
