Talking 20" Victor Wheels from Wheel Dynamics

Last week I bit the bullet and decided to get a set of Victor Wheels (Lemans) from Wheel Dynamics (http://www.wheeldynamics.net). Initially I was looking at the 19s, but I ended up getting the 20 inch package. Car is stock height.

A few observations:
- No rubbing
- Great ride quality (the 18s with Rossos had a bumpier ride)

Just wanted to share a crappy cell-phone pic...

nice, i got the same from them in 19" but had them painted all black. Overall a good experience dealing with them.

Nice but I would not lower it IMHO

What are the dimensions including off-set? How much do they weigh too?

Edit: I agree with Dell, bit too big for me also after I looked at them again. 19's and lowered is big enough.

Sorry, but those look so wrong on the 911. Too damn big. Look almost cartoon-like. However, with that said, the only thing that matters is your opinion and if that is something you like then you will love your P-Car. Just not my cup-o-tea.

19" rims look okay, but th 20" rims look a tad big for the car... I like the polished lip.

You could pull off DUBs on the 997, and even on that car you're stretching it.

Your ride, your money. Thx for sharing anyways. Good to learn.

I like the look for now, and they're not welded on, so they can be changed later if I get sick of em. I'm not planning on lowering the car.

I wasn't trying to invite a flame, really just wanted to post them so others could make an educated decision if they choose the same route.

Cheers-

And don't take this the wrong way, but an educated decision would not lead to putting dubs on the 911.

Neither would putting a tribal tattoo on your arm, but hey, it's your arm! Oh, and don't take that the wrong way. At least I can remove my dubs.

Lame attempt at humor... just kidding. I like my cheesy dubs!

Yep you can change them at anytime and good to know you will not be lowering it, I'm sure you will have issues if you did.

Absolutely and informative thread for others, but honestly you cannot expect to have only people that are looking at 20's or those looking for a source of wheels post replies in this thread. Gaurenteeed you are going to get replies from others with opinions on 20 inch wheels on Porsche's as well as this subject has been covered in the past, you are the first one I have actually seen do it, so congratulations. So the replies from myself, Ben and Dell are going to happen, but don't take it personally, you did what you wanted to do and your satisfaction is all that counts, you are not out to satisfy anyone else.

I got similar responses when I posted pics of my car for the first time with 5-spoke chrome wheels (19's). I have since then changed the wheels not because of the input of others, but because I did not like them either.

Thanks waldrondigital, for taking the time to post the pictures. I have been looking into wheels myself so it is interesting to see that 20’s will fit. I know there was some individuals on this board asking about 20’s before so this should help those who may have had a question about them.

looks good man, would look even better with lowering springs.
i have the victor lemans 19's and while i love them i have 1 complaint: WEIGHT! they're soooooo heavy lol.

how's the ride comfort with the 20's? I had to back down the damping on my PSS9's with 19's because it was getting to be a bit much.
