hahahaha, the 991 GT3RS has 21" rear wheels (20" up front). Same wheel size as the rear wheels on the 918 Spyder.

The 20" Sport Technos on my 991 C2S are lighter than the 19" wheels were on my old 987S and 18" wheels on my old 993 Turbo.

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.
