    is it me or this car is ugly ?

    It is not you.  Smiley

    The clear tail lights look good on lighter colors, like white, silver or even agate grey but they look horrible on dark colors, simply because they are not dark but almost clear (with a tiny bit of grey tint). I have seen them on various cars and I never liked it how they looked on darker colors. Agate is actually the darkest color the clear tail lights look good on. The contrast with the clear tail lights is too high on darker colors, it really doesn't go with them.

    The GT3 wheels are surely not approved but I think the owner couldn't care less. Smiley

    Everything else, well...I really have to keep my mouth shut because I could say things I would regret later on. Smiley Smiley

    I saw these pics during the weekend and GT3 wheels do not fit 991 Turbo at all design wise. Car looks awful.


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    What aftermarket wheels you guys recommend?

    And have anybody seen turboS CL rims painted black? How does it look?


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    i dont think CL wheels will show up in black .. for me black rims should have more bold design with a bold line like the classic wheels on TT

    CL rims on black will be like the prototype car we used to see before

    As far as I heard, a couple of manufacturers (incl. BBS?) will offer CL aftermarket rims for the 991 Turbo S. Unfortunately they won't be much cheaper than the OEM rims, so... Smiley

    The Turbo S CL rims look great in black, I plan to paint mine in black this spring.

    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    my opinion is : what makes the CL looks good is the 2 color  the chrom and the black inside that looks like a shade makes a good rim 

    when u paint it all in black u lost that feel ,,, but its all up to taste :)

    This is not the 991 Turbo S rim (but I guess you knew that and just wanted to post and example of that silver lip) and no, I like it without that silver lip (never actually understood why Porsche does this).

    Here are Pics from an official Porsche option (dunno right now the Order Code):


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    There is no such official option (painted in platinum satin?). 

    This is an aftermarket job or maybe the customer had it done at Exclusive department (I still doubt it because they would offer it officially).

    It is official. Dealer told me the code but i forgot it. I ask him tomorrow.

    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Looks great! Way better than black. With black you don't see anything of the wheel anymore. Which is why the prototypes all run black wheels ;-)

    .. like it without that silver lip (never actually understood why Porsche does this). 

    I think with the lip painted you can see more the size of the rim,without if the rim is black you loose where it end the rim and it start the tyre.

    for me looks more refined with lip in contrast to the tyre.Smiley

    IMO this is a must have option for the Turbo (if it's really an option Smiley).

    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Fully agree. I know for the fact that Sport Classics will be offered in Platinum Satin from MY15. Maybe same thing will happened with CLs?

    I will check on that today but as far as I know, there is no paint option available for the Turbo S CL rims right now. It could be an Exclusive job. As to the looks: It looks nice with the white car and maybe other colors but most colors won't go with this color. This is why I would love to see black painted Turbo S rims from Porsche but so far...nothing. Smiley

    Fully Agree. But I still think black rims are tough to pull off. many cars just don't look good with them. 


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    On 991 Turbo wheel choice is pretty exterior color related. For example:

    White(and Guards Red/Speed Yellow) + Sport Classics in Black

    Agate Grey Met(or Basalt Black Met) + Turbo S CLs(or Sport Classics in GT Silver)

    I like both combinations a lot.


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Thanks for posting Smiley I like the CL wheels (on the black car) Smiley


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    I think it is all very subjective. I don't like the Sport Classic wheels on any car. The CL wheels in platinum look pretty good though, but only on light colored cars, just like the platinum Carrera S wheels.
     
    in the end, only one thing is important.... The owner has to like the car. It's not important what other people think.

    love the simplicity of this wheel

    looks like a bigger version of the Cayman S wheel, which I also love


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    What is the weight of sport classics compare to turboS CL?

    SC look so heavy...


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Don't like those sport classic wheels at all. Somehow wrong proportion. Very 80's. In a bad way. enlightened

    Interesting enough I do not like Spyder design CLs. They look to me like something from Pimp my Ride show...
    Different people-different taste.

    I think of them as more of a snowflake design, so a bit more feminine than the typical Pimp My Ride fare. Whereas the Classics are a plainer, more masculine design, although a bit too plain for "pimping".

    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Anyone know what the different wheels weigh? 


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Turbo S CLs weights more or less the same as Sport Classics.
    991 Turbo standard 5 lug wheels are little bit lighter-around 250g per wheel.
