    I don't usually like the design of aftermarket wheels but these looks very nice the only thing is that 20" IMO looks a bit too big. Post another one when you get the lowering springs, do you have PASM or the standard suspension?

    How's the ride with the 20inch rims?

    Is it a lot worst than with the 19?

    Lokks OK to me. I'm not a fan of huge rims. 19" are enough in my opinion.

    I agree w/ Holminator. I usually don't like aftermarket rims but those are Sweeet ! Probably the only ones I would consider for a 997/S.
    How much was the whole wheel & tire set-up ?

    It looks GREAT. Congrats !!!!!!

    I don't usually like aftermarket wheels either but your's look great!! I think you had Michelins on the standard rims (tried to look on your prev photos but they're gone).... have you noticed any difference in road noise with the Contis?

    to bad the brakes look small behind those huge wheels....but overall i think it looks pretty good though...and i dont think it needs to be lowered

    I don't usually like the design of aftermarket wheels either, but this ones look really good. Only thing i personally would change is to put the porsche emblem in the middle of the wheels, or doesnt it fit?

    Being in the design field, the "911" emblem being off center to the right just bugs me!

    very nice mod, way to go!!

    Although it will start to "destroy" the every day,everywhere advantage of the 911

    Really nice car!
    The silver crest and 911 on the back looks cool!

    Although it looks like you have to be careful around curbs and expansion joints, those tires are thin!

    Nice looking car- the wheels reminds me good old Fuchs but i wouldn't put 20''s on my car. This size is too big for a 911. There is not even a 911 racer with 19 inch.
