Liked the look of the 21 Turbos but I do like the 20" version. What do people think?

Both are great looking wheels.

20" possibly more practical - less likely to get damaged.

Personally for me the 20”

Both look good but the easier cleaning of the 20” wins by a considerable margin.

I have 20” Spyders which look great and have a lot of spokes hence they are a sod to clean which is why ease of cleaning now wins over looks.

Agree with above. 20in. But I have always preferred 20in over 21in. I just think the proportions look better. Also I don't like too many spokes

21” 911 Turbo wheels all the way! I had those exact wheels on my Panamera 4. It covered 17,000 miles in a year and I genuinely found the wheels surprisingly easy to clean!

20" on PASM will no doubt give a slightly better ride than the 21". Having spent the last 20 years on BMW run flats (20") I reckon either choice will be better than what I'm used to. It is a nightmare, the more time you have on the confuserator the worse it gets. I need to lock down now but having gone from RS Spyder to 21" Turbos, I'm now liking the 20". I will just get the boss at home to tell me what to do.

Totally agree with the BMW runflat sentiments. BMW + stiff springs + bigger rims + lower profile runflat tyres = bone jarring ride. I really noticed the difference when I swapped from 18" winters to 19" summers. Very tempted to put the winters back on

WRT Porsche, the Macan GTS comes with 20" wheels and many will say the GTS hits the sweet spot of handling and comfort. I found it brilliant. I did have a loner S on 21" wheels and, to be honest, I much preferred the GTS 20s. Perhaps that was because I was "used to" the ride the 20" wheels.

It really is each to their own. Not always practical but if you can have a test drive with both options, go for it.

Good luck

If you like both equally the 20” is a no brainer pick them

Glad you have sorted yourself out, there is a reason why someone in the distant past name it the Confuserator, which I think that you can now agree with.

Your comments about a Beamer on run flats is exactly how I describe a Macan with 21” wheels and no PASM, a hard, unforgiving ride which I my test drive was made worst by the basic 8 way seats not giving adequate support or comfort for me.

I've actually got both sets now (in black) for my Panamera turbo, whilst the 21 inch looks lovely the ride quality of the 20 inch, especially with winter tyres on, feels so much nicer.
