Same with black rims, they just hide it better, but you still need to clean them if you want to avoid brake dust etching...
Just look at your avatar. Just perfect!

Let me explain it...
In italy is forbidden to put rims size different from the one that are stated in the "mot paper" (do not know how to call it).
As for all things that are prohibited you want something more/different.
Since now I'll move the car to CH I will have this possibility.
I do not know if I will resist.
I can even imagine that from a driving perspective it's probably worse but since in Switzerland we have speed limits similar to US...

Just kidding... but you know that 20" rims are pure bling and detract from performance, road handling and comfort. The 997 PASM was optimized for 19" rims, and if it was me it should have been optimized for 18s. The new 991 S comes with 20s but it's all due to marketing pressure (probably Asia) and here PAG is violating its key principle - 'form follows function'. If you rationalize this and love the car for its performance and engineering you will stay with 19s. Pick the lightest possible rims/wheels and you'll love it.

Mine dose not have PASM. I have the sport chassis (stiffer) with the -20mm suspension and the LSD.
Anyhow I'll think about it.
For now the real good thing of the CH plate will be to be able speeding in Italy without getting any fine

Goodbye 911, but not farewell.
It was a great time spent together but it was time for a new challenge.
And under the leather skin I know it will be a challenge

Until 144mph it goes with no issue.
The only thing its that it's too noisy and mirrors and bonnet start to vibrate in s worrying way.
I'd say that the proper cruising speed is 100mph (kept for at least 120 miles without having to stop to rest)

Wiesmann? No thanks. I cannot buy a car from a manufacturer who started building cars 80 year later than the opening date of my high school. I am too old for that. 
It's a Morgan Aero Supersports.
1.200kg for 376hp. Not bad. An acceptable kg/hp ratio, I'd say.
The Aston is of a close friend of mine and was there to give an idea on the dimensions.
If somebody is curious about Morgan, it's history and their hand made cars, below the links of a few youtube videos:
