I'll take them over the Turbo wheels for style but from what i understand the Turbo wheels are a BBS forged wheel and the classics are cast .
I tend to pull either off my car . My new Turbo wheels were removed with less than 200 miles on my car and they sit in my garage. They will eventually be joined by my M3 stock wheels but waiting a bit .

As for the stock wheels, make sure the the tires don't get too old.

Do you know the weight of the classics ?
Jason (Atomic80) and several other Turbo owners weighed the Turbo wheels . Post 45 shows results https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-wheels-3.html

For a spoke wheel I really like the Hre P43 but it has more than the five spokes .
Champion has this RS 97 which adds a little flair to a five spoke design but again I prefer more spokes like the RS98. And the mesh of the RG19 look nice too.

Any of these choices would look nice on a cab as long as you face ordering wheels and taking the Turbo wheels off .
I don't like the Turbo wheels either .

I'm not a fan of the turbo wheels even on a turbo so take my comments with a grain of salt.
I think the Carrera Classic is a very good looking, simple wheel that looks good today and will likely look good 10 years from now. It's not my favorite wheel choice but it's a very good one.

I am too. With regards to the OEM offerings, the classics are number one in my book, with the sport design a close second...

Turbo wheels are not the nicest, but also not the worse looking wheels Porsche makes. I prefer the Classics or the Sport Design wheels.
