Interesting, lots of you running 20” wheels. I’ve always thought that they look oversized on these cars and god knows the ride is stiff enough already with 19s.

Current wheels since 2007 — Champion Motorsport RS97. Playing around the idea of refinishing it.

RS97s are classic. I had a set on my Nordic Gold 997.2 C2S that I had refinished in GT Silver centers with polished lip. Personally I would go with satin bronze or gunmetal on your car. Dark wheels offset the light paint color. I now have an Arctic Silver 997.1tt as well.

will certainly consider those suggestions. Thanks!

I took some photos of the GT Silver beside Arctic, beside Polar Silver. It's great to see the blue/white of the polar, verus the white of the Arctic, and more blue/black on the GT Silver.

The 997 TT is not a hard riding car with a stiff suspension at all. I went from the stock 19" to 20" and noticed no difference in ride. We're talking about 1/2" less of tire between the road and wheel. I highly doubt anyone would notice that. I did not. I also don't think this car is stiff at all though. Personally, I think 19" wheels look undersized on this car. Different strokes for different folks.

Agree, 19" looks too small. This car belongs on a light set of 20's.
My wheels are a lot lighter than the stock ones and have even improved ride and handling.
