Anything less than 20"s are narrower as well as smaller in diameter and make the car look very undernourished.
Undernourished is the perfect word! The wheels need to fill the arches. Some aftermarkets stretch to 22s. Bling is in! :lol: :lol:
I have to agree. In my early days of deciding spec I saw a Macan with 18’s and it was very ordinary indeed. The bigger the better. Anybody have a number for someone to fix the damage on my 21’s?

Tom I think the guys in Carrickfergus are good, if not that cheap. Thats who Belfast OPC use I believe You could also cover the edge if thats all thats been damaged with rimblades. They stick on and are only half a mm thick so barely noticeable. I have fitted a set on the 911 as a precaution.

I can only advise in London. Posh Wash on Park Lane do total refurbs of all types of alloys. Not sure if that's good for you (!).

I will bear that in mind. I kept them perfect for nearly a year then had two lapses of concentration in a couple of weeks. The marks are on the shiny parts of the Sports Classics so only obvious when seeking it out.

That would involve a road trip that could work out messy and expensive.

+3 on 'undernourished' !!

Even my T looks slightly 'weedy' on its 19" winter wheels/tyres compared to the normal 20" Carrera S wheels that it runs on!

If I return to the Macan fold in the future, I think it'll be 21"s again for me! ;)

And 21" rear wheels if I were ever to order a 992! :P
