21” turbo wheels vs 21” sport classic wheels
Turbos for sure. I don’t like really open wheels like the Sports Classics.
2016 SD, Volcano grey, 21 Turbos, PASM, SportDesign, Privacy glass, LDW and LCA, Heated sports seats with crest and memory, Heated steering wheel (the best), Bi-Xenons with PDLS, Pano roof, PCM, Connect Plus, Park assist with reverse camera
On the topic of wheels. What pressures do people run on 21” wheels - with 1 or no passengers?
When I purchased my car fronts were 2.1 and rears 2.3 bar. Looking at the Porsche recommendations I’ve changed to 2.3 / 2.5 bar. Ride is firmer and personally I preferred the lower pressures.

I would always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for tyre pressures. Lowering pressure significantly risks overheating, affects handling and potential damage to tyre and wheel as well as accelerating wear on the outer edges. Having said that, 0.2 bar is probably within 'tolerance', provided you don't let it go any lower, and bearing in mind that ambient temperature changes will affect pressure.

The manual for my 911 quotes four tyre pressure options: full load or part load, then either ‘normal’ pressure or comfort pressure. Can’t recall if the Macan has similar. I was running part load, comfort pressure in my 20” summer tyres.

This, black on black looks too gangster IMO
My black turbo has 21" turbos and looks great
My ideal would be a volcano grey car with black 21" SC

My current build has the black classics on sapphire, which we saw in dealers and looked stunning - as a rule I dislike black wheels. I have since seen a few on the road and am going in tomorrow to change to the turbo wheels as I guess I just like the silver and black not for me. On dark cars it does work well and on my geek survey of what’s in stock right now it looks like 21" wheels are mostly turbo or classic black so you have the top 2 wheel options to choose from. Personally I am not keen on black/black combo and prefer the turbos on a black car too. Not surprising with my statement above really.
Arrived March 2020 - Sapphire 2020 GTS (PL17PEQ3)
