I'm about to decide on a set of either 19" or 20" wheels for my CS for the street (only) and keep the factory 18's for the track with R-compounds on them.

I have decided on Victor Turismo's since they are nice looking and a price that I can swallow at the moment. They come in either 19 or 20" and I was wondering if anyone here has them in 20" (or other 20" wheels) and what the specs are (offset and width as well as tire size) and are there any rubbing issues?
My car is lowered with H&R's.

I am used to the ride with 19" wheels as I have a set on my other car which is also lowered (PSS9's).

Thanks!

Well anyway, I ordered a set of 20" Victor Turismo's and they should be in next week.
8.5" front and 11" rear's.
Should be nice (looking) for the street!

Make sure you post pics I'm sure they'll look sweet. I saw some black 19'' ones on a speed yellow Cayman in the Reeves' Porsche showroom and really felt compelled to make the plunge.

Chris,

I have 18" Victor Tourismo's that I bought last year - they came with some demo Yoko Neova rubber that I purchased, and that was my track set-up last year. I use stock 19" Carrera S wheels with PS2's for street use. The Victors are not the lightest wheels around, but they are well priced, look good, and they stood up to a lot of abuse. This year I'm replacing the Victors with Volk Racing TE37 wheels (approx 18 lbs each) for track use only.

As far as offsets go mine are:

Front: 18" x 8" 45mm pos. 235/40R18 no spacer or rubbing issues
Rear: 18" x 11" 52mm pos. 295/35R18 no spacer or rubbing issues

I'm not sure if these offsets translate to the 20" size, but I would guess that they do. You'll love the look. What rubber are you going to use ?

its me!!

i been shopping around for wheels also. and i find that 20" are much better looking on the CS.

i suggest 20"

Well I just installed them today and apart from a slight rubbing on the inside of the shocks in the rear (solved by a 3mm spacer) all is good. They look great and not too big (I was afraid of too much bling). I'll snap a couple of pics and post 'em up shortly.
These are only for the street and I'll be using the stock wheels to keep a set of R's on there for the weekends etc.
The Victor's are indeed a bit heavy but not as bad as I thought they would be. I'll take a bit more weight for added strength for MTL **** roads.
Chris

some people like the regular stock factory look, cool people modify the car.

@Chris or boinkus, My black Turismo just came in. What do you guys use for the center cap?

I have the color wheel caps and they don't look nice with black rim.
