Rims // Turbo II vs. Carrera Sport

I have both these sets and am thinking of selling one. Would love to hear ppls thoughts on what looks better on a white 911

My vote's for the TurboII wheels for sure! I've always thought the Carrera sport wheels and the S 'lobster' wheels are just too bland.

On your car I like the sport ones. If you had black accent then the turbo wheels.

I like the Sports for some reason, and I usually don't, but on white I think it looks classy!

Turbo II by a long shot. That was my first impression before I thought about it. I didn't really have to do much thinking, though. I think a light colored car benefits more from the higher contrast. To me, the other wheels are just a little too bland against a lighter car, IMHO. Those same wheels look very sharp on darker cars.

If nothing changed , the Turbo wheel is forged and the other is cast. Forged being a lighter stronger more expensive wheel I d go with that one. IMO.

I generally like the sports, have them on my 911, but i like the Turbos on your car hands down. Not even close - the Turbos look perfect on your car. Much better than the sports.

I have sports and they are body colored (slate).
On the white car, I like the sports better.


**EDIT** Just noticed you have window tint only with the Turbo 2's. Tint does make a difference imo in the overall look of the car.

im sure the turbos are worth more $ than the sports,at least that's what I found when I bought the earlier turbo style and sold the sports.
