Are 21" wheels too harsh?

What are your thoughts on going up to 21's from 20's? This is my daily driver, so I'm curious to hear from those of you who have done this. Thanks!

Not at all

Had 21's on my 2014 TTS and now 21's on my TT. Absolutely no issues and not harsh at all. I also drive in NYC and NJ all the time.

I am lowered too.

Zero issues, just buy good strong wheels like HRE. With larger wheels you have less sidewall.

As DC mentioned make sure to get a durable wheel. A custom forged wheel made from T6 aerospace-grade aluminum is the industry standard. Brands like HRE can produce almost all of their 100+ models in 21" fitments for your 991 Turbo - Centerlock or Five Lug

Thanks for all the input! I feel much better making the move from 20 to 21. I think it'll fill the wheel well a little better.

Couldn't agree more, I think 21" fills the gaps on this car much better than 20" wheels do. Question is now, what wheel styles were you thinking of?
