I have the 19 inch 997.1 turbo 305:s on my narrow body C2S with 12 mmspacers at the rear (from factory)

I also know there are copies to buy but to me it's a safety item.

Edit: why can't I add pictures anymore. Does not seem to work

P.s these are the best looking 20 inch wheels I have seen so far on newer 911:s. Available in 20-22 inch. Love the Fuchs.

Those look pretty nice although I'd do the concave wheel shown with the black barrel in a polished barrel finish like the other wheel. Just having the center of the wheel the only non-black part always looks funny to me like it's floating in space. I also think that deep dish inset center is very 80s unless that's the desired look since its a future/retro wheel. Of course, these are just my opinions.

op - have you considered the 19" Turbo II wheel (below). What wheels do you currently have btw?


Good god this is identical to my car. Thanks for reminding me how cool mine is.

Here is a dry run. These should go on next week once my lugs come in. 20 Champion forged monolite in stealth grey finish...the car has 20s now. Which look great (some 20s can work) and the ride is very nice. I have seen some 20s look awful. The wheels I am going with are lighter then most 19 wheels and even some 18s.

Default looks great

Your car looks great! But I would go Ghetty Duck with those wheels.... that said, leaving the aero is not easy as looks so good and of course car best balanced aero speaking.

19s in general one can't go wrong unless someone buys some cheap anchors... 20's one needs to be much more careful on design (so looks right) and more importantly the weight as many 20s are heavy dogs.... that said, I would take a well built 20 wheel that weighs less by a few lbs then a heavier 19 any day.
