Wow same as mine. You won't believe how many people comment on it.
I really struggled with the 20" vs 19" wheel decision and went with the 19". They look better in real life than on the Porsche website as does the car for that matter.

Agreed. Once you see them, they're excellent imo.

likewise. I like my 19s, although I may lower it a bit in due time. Had my tips coated and the kids at the shop were pissed that when I returned to pick them up, I was driving my Toyota.

I went with 19s on my build, and it wasn't to save money. I think they fit the car well and look great. The only reason I considered 20s was the fact there are only 3 different 19" tires made that fit the car.

I went with the 19s on our too. I am guessing the ride will be a bit more compliant and a little less noisy, although I have not driven a 981 with 20s. We also ordered the wheels painted (along with the roll bar) the same color as the body and the 19s seem to look best with that option.

Had a guy who owns a 930 ask me today what model of Porsche I was driving. It's surprising how many people don't know what the 981 is. I ordered mine with model delete so they have no clue by looking over the car.

Looks great! My black S was delivered this morning, so I'm enjoying that new car smell too.
