Default 2004 TTR 225 - 20" wheels overkill?

Okay so I saw this one Porsche Boxster with 20"
wheels

<img src="http://www.cecwheels.com/images/medialibrary/box2.jpg">

and I think it looks very very nice to be honest..I"m curious if you have seen or know of any URLs/Photos/IRL where TTRs that use 20" wheels.

What would you say would be the biggest wheels that look cool on TT?

I really love these but they only come in 20s.

I like these two they are 19"s but I would prefer the first ones and as big as possible that doesn't look completely out of place.

I like these too from ROH (19"s):

What do you guys think?

Btw, I love this TTs styling overall. I hate the wheels on it though.

Would you say LLTek is a good place to shop? Their prices seem a bit higher then some other places but they have a much bigger offering.

Default plus, it doesn't look good. And on LLTEK, use them only when

there's no other source. They are too expensive, and their site is NOT user friendly.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1619957.phtml">barbiewhore</a></li></ul>

Default God that does look way too big..I guess because TT is curvy 20"s suck

okay..19"s it is.. I'm just wondering..with the lip and spokes going inside 20"s would look a bit smaller..but I guess 19"s are perfect on it.

Default I am not a fan of 20's on a TT. Looks rediculous (see picture inside).........

18" is perfect IMO.

20" looks like a cartoon -

Default You can make the wheel look bigger by getting a wheel with spokes that

go all the way to the edge of the wheel. IMO, 19s on a TT look as good as those 20s do on the Porsche.

And, that red car is a bad example, I have seen 20s look better on a TT, but not much better.

The look is just too big, IMO.
