Not a big 20" fan, but they do look good on that car

One of the few 20" rims that look nice on a 911.

Its just personal taste, I would never put 20's on a 997. What I would like to put is a set of BBS LM's with a wide aggressive stance and a nice drop. Now that would look pretty good in 19".

I would never ever get 20's on a sports car, and I don't even think it looks BETTER either! A nice drop and 19's = perfecto

I don't know what it is about the 997's but I think they look great with 20's. I am running at set of lightweight Champion 20"'s on my car and the performance is fine. Hell, I tracked that crap out of it with Techart 20's last summer.

You can try to blame your crappy driving on the wheels but it's not always true...:rofl:

Yup, my HRE P40s are 19" for good reason.

Firstly I wanted to keep to OEM specifications as much as possible, secondly they are lighter than 20s (1kg un-sprung weight equates to 8kg sprung in terms of handling), and lastly I didn't want to lose ride comfort (20s certainly make the car ride much harder).

Didn't think the visual difference is enough to warrant compromise on the above.

20" TA looks perfect. I would ruin the handling and comfort just for the looks.
