991 on 21" HREs

[Junior Bianno]

Thought all the 20" haters would really like this

(Quite like it personally )

Agreed, never been keen on them, but the 991 looks very good with the hood up and those wheels set it off beautifully in red.

Not sure about the plus-sized wheels but that new cab roof makes such a difference. To me, sex on wheels. And they drive like a coupe too.

21" too much (IMO). Dwarfs the brake discs!

Agreed the same wheel, same colour combo but 20" wheels for me

[Callughan]

Still has a gap between the wheel and arch

Nothing like a red 911, beautiful !
Though the tyres look a tad thin.

This is lovely. Not really a cab fan but this looks great. 21" is too much though. Ruined ride and pointless. 20" is plenty; still too much IMHO.

Guards is a great colour.

Looks lovely, dont know why people are scared to be different on PH, on teamspeed and the other US forums everybody has different wheels

[LeighB]

It's surprising how much smaller it makes the car look.

I quite like the big wheels but it would benefit from being lowered a smidge.

The Americans assume bigger is better. If you are not driving a chipped turbo s on 22inch wheels, you are missing out.

Also, unless it is a track slag, modifying your car with parts not from from the OEM list classes you with the VAG/Jap lot, and will land you in the PH Classified Horrors thread.

Porsche ethos used to be a polar opposite of bigger, better, brasher. I think most of the community still think that way even if most of their production (Cayenne, Pan, 911) are now lardy arses with big bling.

Can anyone price up a set of approved N-rated tyres for 21s? Must be horrendous.

I'm a bit of an old fart, it's true, but I like a bit of sidewall on my tyres.
For a high-performance car I would suggest that 18" hits the sweet spot for handling, grip, ride, tyre cost & availability, wheel durability and aesthetics.

I agree. The 991 on 18 inches is my favourite.

Just thinking about the tyre rumble gives me a headache....................
