Introducing my 991(7).1TT...
Well I decided to switch up the look for this summer with 991TT wheels. I think it looks pretty good. I had to fit 15 mm spacers in the rear as the car looked seriously anemic after being used to the HRE’s 20x12. I will likely be selling my 20” HRE 590R rims so keep an eye out in the classifieds soon.
I posted few pics below and one with the HRE's for comparison.

Cheers!

I looooove the new look!

So are these the original 991tt wheels? 20" I'm assuming.

Looks good! Do the 991 wheels fit OK? Any issues or rubbing? How is the ride with low profile 20's?

Did you find them as take off's or have to fork up the big $$?

At any rate...looks great!

Thanks guys. I was lucky enough to find take off's. No rubbing, fits perfectly, road noise no different than with my previous wheels.

Actually looks pretty good but what about tires are those the 991 tt tires they look big ,if so i don't think they fit within the aspect ratio for our cars you need to be careful or you'll fry your diff do a search lots of threads on this topic.

correct. 991TT tires will not fit our cars due to different aspect ratios.
