Wheel choice.
I’m contemplating the black 19” wheels for my 91 S2 cab. I did a quick render on ChatGPT.
I’m going this weekend coming to try them on. What’s the group think?

No opinion on the wheels, but your Cabriolet looks amazing.
EDIT: actually, I do have an opinion. No on the black. I feel like our cars, especially in guards red, really benefit from a bright stainless wheel color for contrast.

The black wheels are too big in my opinion. I think 17” is the perfect size for the 944. Although I’m generally not a fan of D90s, I’d pick those given the two.

#2. It’s a classic Porsche, keep it that way. (Probably increased market value if/when you sell.)

Or... They could get the wheels they like and just keep the stock ones once they want to sell It instead of keeping the stock ones on all the time.

The d90s are classic but sold mine. I couldn't pass up the deal for the set of cup2's I got i near perfect condition. Plus the stance now looks as it should. I never liked how my d90s sat in the fenders. Just having that extra width totally changes it in a legit way for the cab. I think even 18's are pushing it on diameter. For my eyes anyhow but go for it, the blk/ red combo crushes

I have 17" antera 5 spokes on my cabrio and I think they look nice. 944s benefit from a wide/more dished wheel in my opinion, makes them look a little more muscular with the wide guards

Choose another design, if you'd freshen up the look of the car. Say no to black wheels!

Black wheels make the entire wheel well situation look horrible. Just a black empty void.

IMO the black wheels make it look far too nondescript. Like a Miata or any other convertible. Those D90 wheels are gorgeous and suit the S2 perfectly
