New Wheels Mounted on the CTT, Opinions?
I put new wheels and tires on my CTT yesterday and i'm kind of regretting not going with 22's (at least in terms of aesthetics). What do you guys think of the new wheels? Should I have gone with the 22's?
Wheel specs: 20x9.5 +48
Tire specs: 275/45/20
Sorry for the low res pics, i'm still working with an Iphone 5S

Looks good and ride will be better. I had 2 different sets of 22's on my 06 TTS and while they looked great I was always paranoid about bad roads and potholes and the ride was a bit more firm. Switched back to my stock 19's and ride is so much smoother, 20's are the best compromise in looks and comfort. This set looks great, I might look for 20" Technos next.

Looks great. Don't understand the fascination with 22s. More expensive tires, worse ride, more susceptible to damage. These look perfect.

They look great. I think 20's are the perfect combination of performance, appearance and price as well. Unless your roads are perfect where you live 22's ride rough. They will also decrease your acceleration and braking abilities due to extra weight.

Another vote for a job well done. First thing I did when I bought my CTT was remove the 22s and put on 20s with an all terrain tire. I actually use the vehicle offroad some and not just a street queen.

In my very limited experience and humble opinion ... I'm partial to the 20's ... best combo of appearance (subjective), ride quality / handling tradeoff (subjective) and price (not subjective - 20" tires are definitely lower priced with more options).
I think it looks great like it is!

22's are ghetto. Your 20's look great.

As others have said, stick with those 20" wheels, they look fantastic! It gives you a modern, updated OEM look, and doesn't look outrageous. And it's a size Porsche engineers intended for the vehicle.

20s are better in every way. I don't understand the fascination with large diameter wheels... beyond 20" larger wheels scream "I am more interested in style than performance" (sorry guys who are on 22s). I tend to like things that are NOT done-to-death and painting wheels black is DONE TO DEATH, IMO (and blacked-out vehicles are also done-to-death). It is nothing special any more. The finish on your wheels looks just about right to me... complements the trim on the body.
