I've never yet seen a piece of Chinese rubber that was worth the match to burn it. But assuming it's your first Porsche, no apologies required. I didn't know there was such a thing as a Porsche-approved tire list either. You can get one here.

Anybody have experience with the Victor Zehn wheels? I'm no longer interested in the set in my first post.

I had a set of the Victor LeMans. Good wheel and good price point. I had them in 20x10s.

No issues with the wheels except they were fairly heavy. The Zehns may be lighter but I'm not sure

Here are some 18x9.5 Zehns. Were I to do it again I would get 18x8's or use 265/60-18 tires, as the 9.5's were way to wide for 255/55-18 tires.

I'm still thinking of 20" Victor Zehn's. I see them in 10" and 8.5" (also sometimes a 9.5", I think). In all cases, the recommended tire size seems to be 275/40. What would be the difference in appearance and/or function with an 8.5" vs a 10" wheel on a 275?
