I'm trying to decide on which wheels to order. Does anyone have any real pics of the 21" turbo wheel option?

Not really, so far we’ve mostly seen blacked out 20” (range test drives and Turbo spotted in Cali) as well as fancier 21”/22”.
You can catch a glimpse on the pics and videos on this thread.

None of them are the standard Turbo 21” however.

Turbo wheels spotted. My guess is the 20 inch version (not the 21 inch).

Thanks for the find! Do you have the source for this picture?
Could try to look for a larger size - but right now, tempted to agree these look like 20”.

I ordered with the standard 20 inch wheels, range and ride comfort, but quite frankly they also look very good, which I could order them with black on turbonite instead of the silver.

Ah I’ve been trying to figure out if they are the 20” or 21” ever since I came across the PCA review!
I can't say for sure that they are 20s; just my guess based on sidewall.

No.
On the UK configurator , on the Turbo they are 20' standard fit with 21' same design a no cost option if you dont mind reduced range.
On a Macan 4 you can only 'upgrade' to this design of wheel with a 21' wheel.
The 20' wheel is not available in this design on the Macan 4 from the factory.
The design is identical hence the confusion.

I believe these are the 20 inch Turbo wheels:

Based on the picture below that shows 20” wheels on the base 4, I am wondering if the Turbo above is not actually the 21” version - sidewall seems narrower

And this is the shot that convinced me *not* to get the Turbo wheels, the wheels just look so underwhelming to me… also 21” I believe.

Also the wall difference between the 20” and 21” is only about 1.5cm or 5/8”… either way, hard to be sure based on these pics.

Another few shots of the 20 inch Turbo wheels (now with close-up shot to to confirm 20 inch size --- click on photo and look to the bottom right). For me, the Turbo is the pick of the bunch in the 21 inch size options. There's just a bit too much going on with the Macan Design and the Offroad is just wrong for this model.
