Default Which one? I want to order now!
Hi all,
I will order a platinum silver manual 991 Carrera, I cant decide which set of 20" wheels suits the car best. (Carrera S wheels vs Sport Techno)
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

NEITHER, both look very ugly to me, and specially WAY TOO BIG for those rotors... definitely pick a 19". That's actually a BIG advantage for picking Carrera as you got the option to choose 19".

If its a choice between the two, I would favor the top one.

I'd go with the top one. By the way, I think they're very nice looking wheels and can't understand why people don't like them. I like them better than the wheels on my 997.2 C4S.

I'm waiting for PTS and, it appears, a clutch. Maybe by then I can opt out of the 20" wheels. No longer in any rush - still enjoying my 993.

Carrera S wheels for me as well. Yeah... unfortunately the brakes look and are too small with any wheel.

Carrera S look very Porsche-like. Techno look aftermarket. I like Porsche-like. Hence the Carrera S.
