Default Carrera S w/ 20" SportTechno wheels

For those of you interested i found this youtube video of black 991 w 20" SportTechno wheels. They look pretty good, I had them ordered but decided to change back to my 1st choice 20" Carrera Classics, they are just sharp to me.
I bet you these will probably be the standard on the 991 Turbo when it comes out, just my hunch.
I hope the link works. Enjoy.

I was back and forth between the two decided to stick with Carrera Classic, they look very modern and the gray interior of the wheel makes the brake dust more tolerable.
.... This what happens when waiting on my delivery, mid July dealer tells me, cant wai. I have to stop going into dealer because i keep adding more options and costing me more $. Will post pics when it arrives. -Joe

Those look good...easy to clean....rotors look too small with those 20" wheels though.

Not my favorite design, good call on the Carrera Classics, just add 5mm spacers and you are all set.

They are nice but needs a drop and maybe 5mm spacers.

I ordered these on my 991 and I love them! They are easy to clean, they are a half inch wider than the Carrera wheels, so they give a wider stance without spacers or balancing problems. Since they are spun formed, they also are lighter and come from the factory with 305 width tires not the standard 295. That really looks great and puts more rubber on the road.

Beautiful! I'm going back and forth on what to get (see my post here: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/7085...ls-to-get.html), and I think the SportTechnos are in 1st place right now, painted black (since I'm probably getting a White 991S I think the contrast will look nice).

Can you explain more about the benefits of the SportTechnos? I can't find any literature/documentation online (and Porsche USA's configurator has incorrect info on the wheels, saying the rears are 295).

Any pics of these painted black on a White 991S?

I only have this one I took at the dealership. I'd like to see them in real life again (as I wasn't really interested in these wheels when I took this pic, but now I think these are the ones I want, lol).
