Here is the relevant information about Panamera 21-inch wheels: 1. Advantages: Good stability and strong grip; 2. Disadvantages: Reduced comfort, and when driving on poor road surfaces, the rims are more susceptible to scratches; also, higher fuel consumption. Below is the relevant information about Porsche: 1. Brand Culture: The English logo of Porsche adopts the surname of Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of Porsche AG in Germany. The graphic logo uses the shield-shaped city emblem of Stuttgart, where the company is located. The word "PORSCHE" is at the top of the logo, indicating that the trademark is owned by Porsche Design. The word "STUTTGART" above the horse signifies that the company headquarters is in Stuttgart. 2. Brand Introduction: Porsche is a world-renowned luxury car brand under the German Volkswagen Group, also translated as "Porsche," headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, and is one of the main representatives of European and American cars. Main models include 911, 718, Boxster, Cayman, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan.
After upgrading the Panamera to 21-inch wheels, the most noticeable change was the dramatic boost in appearance—the overall stance became fuller and more handsome, with the wheel arches nearly filled out. The handling improved significantly, with noticeably reduced body roll during cornering and exceptional stability during high-speed lane changes. However, the downsides are quite tangible. With the lower tire aspect ratio, the car became much more sensitive to road imperfections. Last time, going over a speed bump at 30 km/h, I heard a loud 'clunk,' which scared me into stopping immediately to check. The most frustrating part is the tire cost—each OEM tire runs around three to four thousand, making any sidewall bulge a real pain. Additionally, road noise has increased noticeably, especially on highways where wind and tire noise blend together, becoming quite loud without music playing.
