with all due respect to you sir and the racing team. I am going to have to go with 21s when I get my 911. Unfortunately, there are no road where one can drive these cars to it's potential. So I might as well look good. :-)

21s on a 911 is just wrong!

lower diameter wheels are better for performance for various reasons,but I guess they balanced out the loss in performance by making the 20s lighter than the 997s 19s
