Porsche generally shod their press-fleet cars with 19s and the whole notion of the 987 riding rough on 19s came from a few early reviewers in 05-06 mentioning the severity of the ride. This mantra was picked up on internet boards and is a frequently discussed question, however, 987 owners who actually have the 19s and respond to these posts generally seem to agree that it is not an issue. I've had the 987 base with the OEM 17s and ride quality is little different between that car and my current 06S which has the 19 C-S rims.
I do have PASM which is reputed to soften the ride on 19s in normal mode, however, in Sport mode the ride is quite stiff and I wouldn't stay in that mode for regular street use, nor does anyone else I reckon.
