I've seen these wheels on dropped cars with the techart aero kit. I love these wheels but I can't give up the ride height due to crappy nyc streets. I wonder if these wheels are available in 20s?

diononiz will become famous soon enough
Out of curiosity, Does anyone know how much these wheels weigh? Are they cast or forged?

Thanks in advance

ride is great

everyone has their own taste.....I think 21" looks just right.
20's are too small for my taste......too each his own

I think they look great. I remember when people tried telling me how 20's looked huge on a my 997. They all turned out to be 50+ at a local meet and drove bone stock 996's.

I always really liked those wheels. Cool design that's different than the usual mesh wheels out there. Good pick. I think 21's look great. I went the other way however and stepped down to 19's. I like a little more rubber in the sidewall.

Everyone has they're own thing.

thanks for the comments guys, the ride is great without any roughness. I'm running pirellis, so I think with michellines it may even be better

I agree, fvr, I remember when 911sc in the 80s were 16", then we wen to 17, and so on

I think 20 and 21s both look great.....I just wanted a unique look, and believe me, even here is socal, with so may 911's, I haven't seen one yet with my rims on it
