Looks good! I have 19's and love them. I like the look of the 20's the more I see them. Do they rub at all?

Different uses for our cars and if it works for you go for it and enjoy. Just not my thing.

People use to say that about 19's. Now they come on the new 997's. If its not a track car I think 20's look good. Just my $.02

I agree 20s look awesome but cup cars still run on 18s. 20s will reduce the handeling and feel, if not I would have them on my own car.

do some research dude and ask yourself the question why not dub dueces if not dubs on the 911?

19s look best on the 996. porsche upsized the stock diameter on the 997 by approx 1". thus to get the same 19" 996 look, you gotta go 20s.

putting dubs on the 996 is a complete do not go-do move.

Ben, What do you think of 20's on the 997 or 997 TT? How is the new wing working for you? Did you get the rear window spoiler? I think a CF rear window spoiler would look sweet on your C4S with the new rear wing. http://www.gmgracing.com/porsche_aero.shtml

I think 20s on the 997TT is 19s to my C4S. It's just on-target, "height-weight" proportionate if you get my drift. I love alpine997's TT on 20" Work Brombachers like mine.

I do want a roof spoiler, but would keep it body color. I'm not a fan of exposed CF on the outside. I like a monochromatic, clean look.

Thx for asking, Alpha.
