Yo, metallic lime green wit da lift kit and 22"s bow-eyz. Anything over 19" is just Gansta. If you're going gansta, go all the way and "Donk" it out.

Actually I think 20"s would look great, not sure of the ride quality around town.

So what your saying is that if I buy these wheels, I may well be the only 928er "Rollin' On Dubs"?

I would do it! Those look great! That's like a 3" lip in the back!
How's the offset work with your wide body?
I'm happy with my front's but would like more rubber in the back. Went to a car show today and the Viper RT10 next to me had fatter front tires than my rears!

There was a 928 down here in Oz for sale a month or so ago with 20's
Looked stupid to me.
The shape of the wheel well makes the rims look to big.
I think 19's look good but i wouldnt go gigger than an 18 myself.

ICSMIKE,
Is that cool dude wearing Pasha?

And from the 2 seconds I spent watching the recent MTV, I gather that Dubs were 22" rims.
Like to see someone fit 22" rims without a lift kit.

Dubs are 20's or a generic term for anything 20" or larger. Dub deuce's are 22's etc.

I thought about running a slightly larger wheel on the back. Could you post some pics of your car please? Thanks
