This is one of the sports car trends that makes no sense to me. If they made the 991 wheels 18-19" they could be made lighter than stock 20-21" wheels and there would be more rubber/grip to boot as well as better ride quality (and more tire choices). But of course they carve out that huge wheel well space to accommodate these giant wheels so anything smaller than 19" looks off.
