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?GMAN75 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 9:38 pmUndernourished is the perfect word! The wheels need to fill the arches.

Anything less than 20"s are narrower as well as smaller in diameter and make the car look very undernourished.

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.Tom 2000 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:49 pmI have to agree.

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 (!).Tom 2000 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:49 pmI have to agree.

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.Rab J wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 11:14 pmTom I think the guys in Carrickfergus are good, if not that cheap.

That would involve a road trip that could work out messy and expensive.GMAN75 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 11:33 pmI 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 (!).

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!
