I say 19”s over 20”s as everyone else suggested here. I’ve got 19” BBSs on my 997S and they look great without making me looking like racer boy. Also, if you live in a area of giant pot hole, you would regret those 20s in a week.

I had the same issue.

Absolutely love the look of your 997. Those wheels add youth to the look of the 997.

Wheels look great. Do you mine sharing what your front and rear offsets are on these?

20" is pushing it on the 997 but in a forged design it works well with respect to the weight issue.

By dropping the car and adding centerlock I think it came out pretty nice.
