Tire Rack carries them and really hard to beat their price and service. That's where I got mine.

I just got new wheels (HRE R101s for aesthetic reasons) and will be selling mine, although mine are 20" fronts and 19" rears. Did that So I can put more rubber out back for traction.

2 OZ Superforgiata Centerlock 20" x 9" front wheels: light grey
2 OZ Superforgiata Centerlock 19"x11" rear wheels: light grey

These were on my 2014 991.1 TTS

You may not be looking for such a setup, but if you are, these are now for sale.
Located in Somerset County NJ.

That's an interesting approach Dave.. I would think that larger diameter and same width wheels would increase your contact patch ? Also you seem to have gone 11" width in the rear which reduces the tire size vs. stock 20x11.5".
I might be reading this wrong, or is there more to it I am not seeing?

I just picked up a set from Damon (TR) for my 997.2 Turbo. I looked all over for used, but hard to beat TR for these wheels. I went with Bronze in GT2RS size.

This is a drag racing setup. Larger sidewall rubber more important than contact patch for hard-launch traction. 19" allows larger sidewall Mickey Thompson drag radial that sticks better than any 20". Also, these wheels are much lighter than stock, reducing rotational mass and making the car quicker/faster in my experience.

Drag racing 👍👍 Makes perfect sense.. agree on the sidewall importance even more so for the circuit, was just curious why not the front too..

The fronts are much less important when launching from a dig. Rears bear the brunt, even with AWD.
Also, I believe 19" fronts (at least with OZ Wheels) aren't possible on the 991 TTS due to clearance issues.
