I like, but would like better if they were 20's. 21 is too big for the 991 IMO.

just curious how close you got. this car is very sensitive to this.
Great question!

We weren't able to hit identical overall diameter dimensions however we believe we came close: 0.31". For this specific model, we were aiming at less than 0.5".

Agreed. It's big for us too, we'd normally recommend OEM or 19".

If anyone is in the Los Angeles area we have an HRE P104 on display with the brushed gold finish. It is amazing. Not for everyone, but if you like gold wheels it is AWESOME!

So 21" have no clearance issues with wheel wells, ect ? No ride height changes needed...in other words 21's fit the stock car ? I like the design of the wheel.

We did not anticipate any modifications being required to make this set fit (to our knowledge after conversing with the owner, there were no modifications performed to the body, including ride height adjustments).

However, to conform to the original purpose and nature of the 991 GT3, we recommend 20".

The thought crossed my mind about the possible 21's in the rear of the soon to be released RS and 20's in the front. Thank you for the response.
