Thumbs up 08 Cayman S on 20" Rinspeed C5/1's

Here is a Cayman S we recently did sporting 20x8.5 & 20x11 Rinspeed C5/1. Came out pretty good

Shoot me a PM for pricing

I loved those rims on my car -- you may recall you scored me on the entire kit, wheels, exhaust, and lowering springs. Plus, you introduced me to Jon -- dude is a soldier.

Cayman S -- the only US RINSPEED Imola -- is now resting in peace (the victim of a T-Bone.)

Those absolutely look fabulous on that car. So is there anyone who can articulate the perceived difference driving a Porsche with 20 inch rims instead of 19's? How much does the ride change with the smaller side walls, well, almost non-existent : )

Is there a big difference in the ride quality? I won't be tracking the car...

Not much difference at all from 19, I am running 235/30/20 and 285/30/20 on my CS. Ride on normal road is around the same, not harsh at all.

When you go over speed bumps or rough roads, you will get a harsher ride of course.

The only downside thus far are watching out for potholes and going up driveways. My car is lowered and with those thin tires, I am always watching out for potholes and dodging them

I'm always having to watch for potholes anyway, so not much of a difference then. Thanks for the feedback...
