new 911 turbo s wheels,options

[swerve1534]

I have ordered a new turbo s for delivery next summer,I am not keen on the center lock wheels/rims available and would prefer the 5 stud rim but was advised that there could be up to a 10k penalty on the resale value of the car if I bought the 5 stud option,give me your thoughts please

WBAC won’t care what wheels are on it and they’ll still outbid your OPC when it comes to sell/trade

I think the 5-spoke is a popular wheels on the TTS so doubt it’ll be a problem. I think it looks great. So long as the spec is tasteful I don’t think you’d have issues come time to sell.

I was looking at this 991.2 the other day with 5 stud wheels….I bet it’s not worth £10k less than a car with CL’s.

I'm also keen on the design of the 5 studs for my 992 Turbo S Cab - allocation due Q2 next year. I suspect the resale value will be determined by colour and other options more than the wheels. And mileage and condition of course. I'm not over thrilled with any of the 3 designs but we have to choose something and it's always nice to have something a bit different.

I love the Carrera classics on my TS and wasn’t a bit disappointed it didn’t have centrelocks.

It may have been a bit cheaper than some of the cars but is that the wheels or the colour? Who knows.

I’d just spec what you want and enjoy.

Gratuitous pictures!

Not sure if you can see my wheels as early evening photo but these are the 5 stub option wheels on my 992 turbo “S”

I effectively have these 5 spoke wheels on a Midnight Blue Turbo S Cab. I deliberately avoided CL wheels on advice but they can look great. (The first piccy)

The 5 ‘spoke’ wheels are great and I personally think that they play down the car and its abilities. A bit of an invisibility cloak.

Ensuring I take any bias out, I think your car looks bl00dy fantastic with those wheels and I too am completely unconcerned about any impact or residuals - there doesn’t appear to be any but I do expect a dealer to try!! (Although intend to keep ours forever - I’m smiling now just thinking about using it to grab some lunch!)
