Default Porsche 993 Turbo RWB widebody with ADV1 Wheels

I like the widebody but the wing is too big and would change the wheel color.





from the article:
The ADV1 Wheels picked for this Porsche 993 Turbo RWB widebody are the ADV10TS, measuring staggered 18×10.5 inch at the front and 19×13 inch at the rear. The staggered setup at the back accentuates the RWB’s massively flared arches which are the signature feature of the car. As mentioned, the wheels are finished in polished gloss bronze.

6 pictures and full article

So 18" fronts and 19" staggered rims/tires.. I always thought/still believe the larger rims made the wheel heavier (for same overall dia/width). They look good but I wonder how it handles. I assume with the narrower/likely stiffer side walls, there maybe slightly more oversteer? I wonder if there is any advantage performance wise? Can't think off the top of my head many race cars with staggered rim sizes, except dragsters. Now I'm curious...

They should put a wing on top of that wing.

Not a thread hijack but would 17" rims work on a 993 Turbo? I'm curious about better ride compliance (with pss10 too) and I really love these Penta wheels that appear to only come in 16 and 17" Kinda like 917 wheels.

Personally, I like the 'Hoonigan RWB' found here. Songs good too.




They are all a bit over the top cartoonish versions of the 935 and 993 GT2?

I love the rear bumper duct - I wish our 993's came with this. May help move some air behind the bumper

Maybe its not for everyone but I bet its functional and limits some of the heat trapped behind the rear wheel/ exhaust area.

It is wrong when the wing is higher than the car!

I think the pilot was locked out of the cabin
