don't spam the board to get your count up as that will get you banned...anyone can send a visitor message if they would read the FAQ...if you left click on a member's user name a pull down menu will appear...select view public profile...and there will be a text window to type your message in and a submit button to send the message...

and to the members that posted ADV...there are still many members of 6speed that were left hanging by Jordan of ADV when he dumped 360 so his products are not permitted to be promoted on this board..thanks

Thankyou for the information. I was not intending to spam the board just more of a joke, but i assume I asked for that one.

I run HRE 20's on the C4S and can say that in 12 months there have been no noticeable differences.

Like most of the posts, 19" is the optimal balance of performance and looks for the 997. But of course there are many customers that have opted for 20" wheels.

Here's a couple pictures of our customer vehicles.

P40S



P43S



Here's some 18" C93

Like the others have said, if you are looking for something that rides the best I would recommend 19 inch. If you are going to be driving the cary daily I would also recommend 19 inch. Now if you are looking for something for show I would do 20s. Best of luck with your wheels.

Heres my take. I lowered w springs,my 997,wont do again as ride was terrible.
My next 997.2, C4S, I bought 20in HREs. Fantastic looking and no compromises at all.
Sold the C4S for my TT, Still have wheels,tires and TPMS for sale.$4800 shipped.They cost over $9000. HRE547R
9 x 20. 12 x 20. 245/30, 345,25.

I have ISS Forged 20's and the ride is very similar to the stock 19's. I only get compliments and I don't think it is too big for the wide body 997's

I went with the black HRE P40's in stock size wheel and tires. IMO, no need or benefit to go to 20's or wider rubber
