I still think you should have picked up the 19 carrera classic wheels.
I just found pics of the exact same car with those wheels. Check it out.

the classics are nice but no where near as nice as the TechArt Formula wheel. You have to see the wheel in person and look at the spokes from an angle. They're insane.

I could not have said it better myself ..... Those wheels on your car have got one of the fasest growing threads going that I have seen in a long time ..

It looks so good lowered why are not more people lowering them ? I think the factory front end of the aero kit would look great on this car not the Techart with the side skirts but the factory aero kit front minus the wing .
I'm craving for the GT style front end LoL... we'll see...
Any thoughts?

Never saw those wheels in person. But what troubles me the most is the size of them. 20" might be too big for the car and may ruined the comfort and handling. The car was developped from the start to run on 19". When you get bigger wheels, you slow the car down, the ride gets stiffer. That alone, would keep me away from those wheels.

Look closely....Porsche did go for a VERY subtle take on the CGT front bumper... It is very fussy but it has the same basic design. Forget about the bottom spoiler and look at the intakes. Its like it's one large intake with 2 "splitters" doing down and inward, with another, smaller pair, going in the same direction. Its there on the Stock Carreras as well, if you take those horizontal lines at the sides away.
Then again, the fact that I myself only noticed that after a while shows that porsche should have made it more pronounced. I really hoped the turbo would come out with a front bumper that really mirrors the CGT.
The TTP kit looks like it does an OK job with that.

I'm not sure about that. Many times if you get bigger wheels the outside circumference remains the same because the tire profile is smaller. Which does lead to a firmer ride but shouldn't slow down the car. It depends I think on the weight then of the 20" wheel vs. the 19"s. The rolling mass. I'm not argueing with you though as I had a deposit on the same exact wheels but cancelled them once I took delivery and drove my car in sport. For my area on an everyday car the 20's would be to harsh for me. It's a sick look. If I was planning on keeping my car I might have done it anyway.
Maybe someone with tire/wheel technical knowledge can explain.

mish: can you confirm that they make 19s? I couldn't find them online, but would love to be wrong.
