Wheels look great on your car Highflyer99!!!
But I just couldnt peel my eyes away from how close it appears the rear of the car is to that wall!
Photo might be deceiving but parking sensors hopefully worked.

Wheels 20’s or 21’s
Current Macan GTS Collected July 2022 https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsc ... =/PNM4GBM0
When I went on my PEC day in 2015, the instructor told me that in his opinion the best ride and handling on the Macan came with 18" wheels but most people ordered larger wheels because they looked better. With the difference in sidewall height between 18" and 21" wheels being 11⁄2" it's not surprising the ride was softer on 18" wheels. The difference between 20" and 21" is less marked so these days it's all about how the wheels look to the buyer. There's no question that Porsche see optional wheels as an exceptionally good earner but whether they represent value for money is an entirely different discussion.

Thanks GTB …
It’s about 10in from wall ..lol ….always find those sensors etc helpful ..
I do think it is sad that probably due to pressure of restricting the number of options to go through WLTP, the ability to have 18 or 19 on a new build has gone apart from the base. The 18 or 19 sets are narrower and this has many bad weather advantages. My preferred wheel tyre choice for the southern half of the UK would be 19's with a modern snowflake standard all season but unfortunately, Porsche has not given one N approval yet

Amen to that. Would love 21” Spyders for £1400 but roads not really up to it around me. Our X3 on 19s is just about OK over potholes/sinking drains that we occasionally can’t see or avoid.Highflyer99 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 4:18 pmNo about money saving , Cotswold roads !

Stick with standard wheels and upgrade the seats maybe, plenty of time as I’m looking at a may/June build date if I’m lucky!
Easier to buy new wheels than seats too!
Looks like The 21 GTs in black are currently unavailable as they have been removed from the confusarator so that’ll make my decision easy if it stays that way!Tom10juve wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 7:07 am I currently have the 21’s spec’d but they aren’t cheap and I’m not sure I need them, does anyone have any pics showing the standard 20’s? Most I have seen all have the 21’s which just makes me want them even more.
I am not having air suspension, Barely do 5000 miles a year and coming from an rs3 I’ll be fine feeling the bumps!
Keeping it quite standard so far

Wheels can make or break the look of the car - if you are keeping it for a while then have what you really want - it will add up to next to nothing over time !

I specced those same 21 inch RS Design wheels on my build too but have noticed they've now been removed from the configurator! I'm not a fan of the other alloy options, so I'm at a road block now. Hoping this is just a temporary glitch and not a permanent decision from Porsche..

Do you mean the 21’ GT wheels? The RS ones are still there,it’s the GT wheels that have been removed.estymasko wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 12:25 pm I specced those same 21 inch RS Design wheels on my build too but have noticed they've now been removed from the configurator!
