Dpe sd20 20"?

I really like this wheel with the stepped lip, matte black center and black inner barrel. Anyone know whether this looks like a 19" or 20"? I'm thinking it's 20". Regardless, I really like how it looks.

I tried zooming in using photoshop but I couldn't ID the tire size to check. Thoughts on whether these are 20'?

Anyone know if the car is on this forum?

I was leaning toward Work Meister S1 3P wheels but then this wheel jumps out at me.

Lastly, anyone order DPEs before and know what the typical turnaround time is? Works is 12 to 16 weeks. :-/

Looks like 20"s...I don't know about DPE quality but they look better than the Meisters imo. Good choice either way

Have to be 20s. Too big on a 997 IMO and those centers will be lots of fun to clean on a non PCCB car, but to each their own.

I used to have 20"s and they look like 20"s to me. DPE wheels used to take 3 months so about the same as works. I like the style of DPE's better. Personally, I prefer my old wheels design better.

I used to run 20" on my last 997 and I sold them after a few months, but stepped lips I believe have a barrel that's 1" lower, and as such the face doesn't look as big as a reverse lip.

I may go with VSXX/ Brombacher

Looks awesome. I would say 20's. The stepped lips look large. The step lips on 19's not so large.

I would go with the Work VSXX vs dpe
