@TJP40 I am biased. I like the Carrera S wheels a lot. They are easy to clean and if I have a scrape they are cheaper to fix. Besides, they are insurable which the diamond cut ones aren't.

I can't speak for the other wheels but on the Carrera S wheels the rim doesn't stand proud of the tyre which for example the Carrera Sports wheels do. These are pretty susceptible to damage.

Lastly, the Carrera S wheels are very easy to clean which, coming from Macan Spyders is a plus.

I had Carrera Classics on my Cayman for 3 years and £30k + miles with no issues whatsoever. Personally I really like them although was really torn between them and the S wheels. I don't think either is a bad choice as both look great. Go with what talks to you

Thanks for the feedback guys. I decided to go for the Carrera S in the end. I just couldn't decide between the two but given 80-90% of people I asked chose the S then that seemed like a wise choice!

Only issue is that there is a 2 week delay on them! Grrrrrr.....not good at waiting and just want my first Porsche now!

Cheers
