Default Wheel Growth

It wasn't until I put my old Fuchs alloys (7 & 8 by 16) next to my newest car's wheels and tires did I realize what a significant growth we have seen in wheel sizes from Porsche. (The new ones are 8.5 x 19 (front) and 11.5 x 19 (rear) and are the largest OEM wheels available for a 911 Carrera to date.)

Taking that growth into account...imagine what they will look like 10-20 years from now!

I LIKE IT! Should have PS'd out the exhaust though as I doubt whatever is moving that along would need one.

We need that just for the exhaust noise!
