Default 20" wheel suggestions for 997.1 C4S Cab-OEM 991 vs aftermarket
Thinking of buying a Black 2006 C4S Cab but the owner has aftermarket chrome 20" rims on it. Only bright spot is that they have new MPS4S tires on them that I want to reuse. Any suggestions on reasonably priced aftermarket 20" wheels for the widebody 997.1? Will 991 20" WB wheels work?

Definitely not black wheels though.

20'' on a 997.1? Is the car only going in straight lines for drag racing?

Sell the wheels with the tires together or separately and get a proper 19" wheel and tire setup. 20s don't look good on a 997.

I suspect there are some nice 20" fitments that work. These aren't bad IMO.

This ^^^^ is good advice.

The 20's on a 997 do not look good.

Thoughts? 20" Techart Formula. Works well on 997 IMO.

Good call. That keeps you on 19s.

Great decision! 20s are too big!

I too agree with staying with the 19s. Look at the tech art 20 wheels photos, specially the side shot, just does not seem to be proportioned properly... just my opinion

The 19s definitely ride better too. Happy with my decision. Now just need to sell the chromies. They have Michelin PS 4S tires with under 500 miles on them.

Looks much better on the Turbos. Congrats on the (now) beautiful car! I hope you can get the smell of Drakkar Noir out.
