I forgot to include this on, still only going on looks. I know it's still a 987 but it really deserves its own category.

I love the GT3 wheels but man are they too big. You can see clear through to the other side of the car.

The 981 wheels are even worse, and the wheel well arch is so large that anything smaller than a 19 or 20" wheels looks puny.

I will never understand this SUV sized wheel on a sports car trend.

They're not GT3 wheels. But they are big!

And agree re the stupidly big arches on the 981. Makes 18-inch wheels look tiny!

That said, still think the 981 Cayman looks best on 18s.
