But if they weigh more, then you start to introduce potential issues with braking and handling.
+1 Very well said.

If 911 owners are looking to step up to a 20" but retain a similar weight figure or even lower than 19s or 18s, you need to look into a forged wheel, either 1 piece or 3 piece. They start at 4,000$ or so with the AG Forged 3.2 at 19lbs front and 20lbs rear !

The low pressure cast wheels in 20s will weight close to 30 lbs each, a lot heavier than the OE wheels!
