20in wheels?

I am going back a forth between 19 and 20 inch wheels. I love how 20's look on 911's, but since I have the base 997, would 20's look weird with the smaller rotor/caliper setup?

What do you guys think?

19" wheels maximum IMO, 20's look too big

Yes the 991 has 20's but they are also taller tires, they will run 30 series tires in the rear, so it has more rubber sidewall then a 997 on 20's

Stick to 19s ! 20s will overpower a 997 unless it is lowered with a very aggressive stance.

I love the 20s and if I grow tired of my current factory wheels, I would buy HRE 20s. The true performance guys will argue it to death you shouldn't even have 19s, but I don't track it and I like the way the 20s look. If you like them, do it.
