Hi All, I'm getting my 981 next week (currently have a 987).
And I will definitely upgrade the rims to Carrera S or Carrera Sport style (comes w/ 18").

Can you please show your pictures and experience please - although it's clear 20" will look better I prefer 19" for a smother ride, I hope to see how the 19" fill the wells vs. the 20".

Thanks in advance!

2013 Boxster S. Original owner mounted 19 inch HRE wheels to replace the original 19 inch Boxster S factory wheels. I love how the black wheels work with the Mexico Blue. But, if I'm honest, I feel like there is a strange dynamic in slow tight turns. The feedback through the steering wheel feels like the wheels are too big almost like the wheels are pushing back against my hands. Maybe the offset is slightly different from OEM.

I just mounted 18 inch lobster forks from a 987.2 for my winter setup and I actually like how the steering feels now compared to the 19s. They don't look quite as good but they feel better. It's a tough emotional perspective.

Update: the 18s with Pirelli Sottozero winters.
