Thanks to “beye” we learned that we can go to the French Taycan configurator, change wheels (and indivual other options), then click on the “Apercų”, then on “Doneés Techniques” and see the km range differences listed each Taycan wheel in kilometers. But the link is for the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo and so one would need to hunt to find the exact Porsche French configurator for the sedan, Turbo, or whatever model you are looking for.

Once I found the WLTP range in kilometers there for each different wheel, I then divided by 1.12 (to get really close to EPA listed ranged) and then multipled that by .62 (conversion from km to miles) and got not only the relative “loses” from leaving the base wheel to those I like, but a rough approximate mile range difference. Again thanks to “beye.”

Right? I’m actually entertained by it. It’s almost the same old thing, they rebranded it and made it exclusive. And probably a must have on turbo+ models. Genius move from Porsche

Thanks. Do you have a photo of the full car (to see the wheels in context)?

Above rim is called 21” Aero Design.

It is not 20” Turbo Aero, which is shown below.

I liked the new 21" Turbo Aero on the configurator, not so sure now, they appear quite bland. The new 20" Turbo Aero might be better, seem to have a bit more detail. Did any of the cars have those?

You can see a few more lines on the 20", If I wanted to get a little more performance I would get the 21" at the cost of looking like you ride on round walls, while the 20" will still look ok-ish but at least not like a round wall
