Does anyone have thoughts (or pictures) about either the 20' Taycan Turbo Design Wheels or the 20' Offroad Design Wheels. These are the two builds I'm considering (lock in Sept 1) and I haven't really come across a lot of people who chose these options (main difference are exterior color, interior color and rims).

I think your spec looks awesome. Did you get the high gloss black on the exterior trim and window trim too, seems like that would match the high gloss black on the rims. If you have a side view of the rims and don’t mind sharing it, I’d love to see it.
Thanks, and yes I ticked all the black options, so window trims and all the lower plastic parts in black gloss, works well with the gloss black sections of the rims. I even have the brake callipers painted in black however you hardly see them with the solid rims (a glimpse of the standard red would dive me nuts).

Only have this picture of the side, others are in the other thread.

One thing you may not appreciate without seeing the 20 inch turbos in person is that there’s a black plate that acts almost like a wheel cover. You can see it in the photo above. After seeing them in person I decided to pay up for the 21 CTs.

That was one of my principal concerns but there are no CT's anywhere near here for me to look. That being said, I don't think I want the 21'' just because I usually find them too overpowering the rest of the car in looks.

Thank you so much for the photo - if I go this route I'm going to get the high gloss black the same as you did on the trims.

These look great too -- they look a bit darker in the photos than I thought they were from the configurator. Hard to decide what looks best w/o seeing it in person -- are you happy with them?

Yes I am very happy with them. I do like the 20” Turbo style as well, but I wanted a more open wheel where I could see the brakes.

They are very flat (not very concave), but all the Taycan wheels are like that for aerodynamics I suppose.

They look very nice, I had the exact same reasoning. I had initially added the coloured Porsche logo to the rims, but these looks so much better with the grey version!

Hi Klepper,
Thanks so much for the pics of your wheels. It confirmed our selection of them for our CT4 build. They should match our “understated” Frozen Blue and Vesuvius Grey inlay colors nicely.
your contributions have been very helpful in our configuration. Still waiting for a build date ?.

Following the Porsche website it's those rims that provide the best range.

Have you had the occasion to confirm that ?

Yes, they give they best range for 20", same range as the 19", 7% better than 21" on motorway. Not tested range, too busy enjoying the power!
