Default Opinion on rims needed!!

What do you guys think of these rims on a white 991 4S cab?

ADV.1 5.1 SL

I'm thinking 21".

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Rims are beautiful, and I almost put those on mine. However I think 21's are too much. To each is own.

Putting those rims on is way more trouble than its worth. Its the whole wheel or nothing, I say.

I think they look alright, prefer some different styles they offer...
...some folks are doing the 20/21 combo, think that might look better.
I'm still trying to pick-out something myself, but like this look.

I was going to say that ... In my humble opinion they don't look like they fit with the 911. Also, 21 is probably a bit much. I would stick with 20.

21's....really? Those will be h e a v y with the extra metal and rubber. And an even lower profile on the sidewall for other potential problems. I'd bet 21" tires are way more expensive and even more limited in selection.

The rims look fine, not sure about the rest of the wheel though.

If the new Fuchs looked like the old Fuchs (eg on the 997 Sport Classic), but in 20in, I would be tempted.

But looking at Slantnose's last posting, I can't help thinking that if I had the new style Fuchs, I would be wanting the 991 Carerra S wheels.
