which wheel do you like?

Let's assume you 1. are a self-employed professional whose client's notice your car; 2. drive it nearly every day; 3. Are a PCA Driver's Ed participant who loves the track; and lastly 4. Are youthful and love driving your car on weekends in jeans and a tee shirt with your music on, roof open doing errands.

Now I ask, on a silver/black or grey/black 991.2 carrera w/PSE, black headlights, black badges etc... which wheel do you choose:

Setting aside the (~$16 k) incremental cost for the Carrera Sport wheels + carbon disks that come with the yellow calipers, and the performance enhancement that comes with them I like the look lots.

Satin Platinum +1. I have them now and absolutely love them. But life is too short not to try something new.

I have a 991.2 with the S wheels. Love them. Easy to clean and they look great in glossy black.
