Default Considering 20” wheels on my 997.2 turbo
Looking for opinions and pictures of 20” wheel fitment on 997 turbos.

I like the look of the Rohana 10 spoke concave wheels, but concerned about quality / strength of those wheels.

Please post up your 20s and if you lowered the car, which springs you used.

thanks.

Current stock setup

Been discussed, and I agree... The 20's just don't look right and are too big on the 997 platform IMO.

I love the stock wheels on your 997.

i think the 20s should have come from factory and a factory ride height car looks great with bigger wheels filling in the wheel wells lots of nice options i have HRE p40s much lighter and stronger than stock

997s belong with 19s. I have been down this path before. Believe me, 19s rides way better than 20s on a 997.

I was looking for Eibach’s but seems they only sell with sway bars and I already upgraded my sway bars.

Were you able to source your eibach springs separately?

thanks.

@Jackets911 Looks ACE!!!

I concur - 20's are fine ride wise and look killer, and Im from Australia - where the roads are less than stellar!
