yeah, me too, and even the center caps, though billet, are oddly expensive, except for maybe the cloisonnet(sp), and then, have to pass there too, better things porsche to spend on...

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but the new 991 20" wheel will fit on the 997.2.

Very interesting. If I were looking at 20" wheels, I'd try to find some of the new Carrera S take-offs on RL or elsewhere. They are fantastic for a stock wheel....

haha, true they are steep, but would make me smile lol, and that's worth it in todays day and age......also, I think the center caps on my Targa are bigger than
my other cars......I have a collection; between my two MB's I have about 9 different sets of center caps.......it's a sickness lol

yes, a lot of people like 20's for the look, but the ride is already pretty defined with 19's IMO, and going to 20's would onlty rattle me more haha....

are many people lowering their cars? that may be a different thread....

With going to the new 20" you'd have to use your orignial TPMS from the 19", the 20's are gorgeous new wheels tho !

I have switched TPMS's on my Benz' multiple time with no issues, I'm assuming there is some sort of rebuild kit? or some small component that would have to go with the swtich?

Its to do with the PCM of a 997 and TPMS from a 991 ( with new 20" ) , that you have to use the TPMS 997 to PCM 997

Nice car, what size wheel did you put on your car? I just ordered the Ruger Mesh wheels in 20", I'm wondering if I should have ordered them in the 19s
