Don't forget. The 19" OEM rim/tire setup for 987 has a SMALLER total wheel diameter than the 18" setup. I think I posted the numbers here somewhere few months ago. That said, the pic does look a bit weird -- as if the car needs lowering to get to the OEM look. Also, the sidewalls are much shinier and darker than the rest of the tire, so it looks like the tire stops at the sidewalls and the visual trick doesn't allow for the rest of the tire to fill out the wells. This is especially pronounced on black cars where the wells can't be clearly differentiated from the dark space and the dark tire.
I like the Carrera Classics and Lights very much and have been mulling over the idea to replace the 18" standards with either of them, but each time I see my Box I like the look of the standard 18s more. And each time I hit a hole I'm thankful for not getting the 19s. Perhaps in 2-3 years if/when I get bored.
