Looking at Turski's 20" Iforged. Some of the pics on his thread look good, some total bling. They are OK on the 997tt, but not sure on 996tt. Opinions? Price is right and they are not too heavy...

I wouldn't do it myself. In terms of performance, 18" is good, 19" is acceptable, 20" is pushing it.

20 inch wheels work perfectly on a 997 due to the stock over all diameter allowing for it. The 996 on the other hand does not like the larger O.D. In other words putting 19" on a 996 is equivalent to putting 20" on a 997. I would highly recommend going with 19" on your 996. Good luck and have fun.
