Default 20s on a 996? Yep - D2 Forged!

Hey guys,

We often get asked - how would 20s look on a 996? Well, D2 Forged answered this question and took an amazing approach to fitting massive wheels on the 996.

These FMS01 are 20x9" front and 20x11.5" rear, they look like 19s since they use a step lip barrel design to minimize weight and give it a sizable lip for an old school look. The wheels are 3 piece forged with a flat face profile to ensure optimal weight reduction. They are also D2's most affordable 3 piece forged option!

Wheel specs:
20x9.0"
20x11.5"
Step Lip Configuration
Brushed Aluminum Center
Hi-Polished Lip w/ Ceramic Clearcoat

Does anyone think something so large and wide would take out some of the easy handling of the car? After saying that, they look abs. awsome I think.

They are great looking wheels ! but can you turn a corner if you have a lowered suspension .

good pictures, nice job

my question -> what did you do about the fender liner rub for the front wheels ?

Already with the 19" you can't turn the steering more than 50%
so with 20" I wonder how you do it

Love the design but the wheels are too big though for the car.

I like big wheels but I think 19's are enough for that car. The tires must cost a mint and last a few months!

A couple RL'rs here go for the bling and maximum drop look, but 18's and the X73 are my perfect combo.
