Very split opinions. Considering selling my turbo wheels for a set of classics - still undecided. I think resale, turbo’s would be more appealing?

On a side note. Took the turbo for its first real drive tonight - surprised how well It blends comfort and performance. Sports exhaust sounds good as well. I have noticed some squeaking from the brakes, even when they are warm - is this normal?

I had Turbo wheels on my Macan and I like cleaning wheels, so I am biased.
So when is this ‘old enough to know better’ supposed to kick in ?

I'm trying to spec a new GTS and am undecided between standard black 20" spiders, or black 21" sport classics.
Those new wheels look lost on that car in black

Quite a few owners have experienced this. It is often cured by a few hard applications of the brakes from speed to clean off the disc surfaces, bed in the pads and heat up the callipers to help with realignment of the pads.

I had 21” 911 Turbo alloys on my 2017 Panamera 4. I loved them. Had the car for a year and covered 17k miles. I was surprised how easy to clean that the wheels were. I’d guess (from comments on here) that the RS Spyders would be harder to keep clean... :?
