IMO 20" is just too much wheel for the 997. I mean they are killer and all, but the 19's just seem to fit right in there better. 20" looks like you're trying too hard. "Hey everyone, look at my new badass wheels!" OK for some, but I prefer to be a bit more subtle.

Looks great, I'd like them a bit darker. I like the contrast.

They are different in the fact that they are lighter than the P40. The spokes are thinner first of all.

Nice looking combination but 20's force the need for bigger rotors to balance out the visual effect...

Wheel weight was the major differance between the P40/P40S rite?

Car looks very good! Some aftermarket exhaust tips would look rite at home!

Main diff: the profile of the spoke. As the spoke comes down from the edge of the wheel it makes and angle change and the drops dramatically into the bowl.

Through new engineering and machining capabilities hre was able to reduce the weight by actually almost 2 lbs. per wheel when compared to the P40.
Being hre largest world wide dealer we have all p40 and p40s instock in most colors and applications

Haha, being subtle in a $140k+ car?? I think 20's seem to look a little big in pictures (depending on the wheel). In person, they look awesome.

((Note: I have 20's.))

+1. I am trying differant spacers on my 19" set up to fill the wheel well a little more and achieve somewhat the same look - just a little more subtle...but it is a beautiful car. My next one might be white in fact...

Could you PM me a quote for a set of the P40S - 19's - for my 997.1 TT - stock size? Brushed, tinted, and satin charcoal?

Has anyone heard, recently, when the Michelin PSS's will be available in 235/35/19 and 305/30/19?

Thanks!
