They are available in 18" so you can have the look of the Carrera Classic but stay with 18" wheels.

I think that 19's are the only way to go unless its for autoX. Then youd want a 17 or optimaly an 18 inch wheel. I love my 19's, but the design of the wheel dictates a lot. An 18 with spokes outside of the edge of the rim look bigger than my 19's with my big lip. I say get the 19's. I havent lowered my car, and dont plan on it unless there is some crazy sale where new springs cost like $200. I come from a lowered Z3 and it was not worth it. It looked awesome, but I broke my underglows 4 times, broke my front bumper, cracked the front bumper after that, and chipped paint off the lip. I got all that fixed the week before I sold it, lol. You will kick yourself if you dont get the 19's, in the words of starsky..."Do it"

The 18s have always been available. I considered them when I bought our rims, but I really prefer the look of 19s over 18s. Had the Carrera replicas been available in 19" when I was looking, it would've been a no-brainer.

PerfectLap, Randall and a couple of others have the 18" Carrera Lights and they're awesome. Possibly the best looking Porsche wheel ever.

I love those Carrera wheels, they look fantastic. Unfortunately my better half would not allow me to purchase them at this time due to the fact that I have spent quite a bit on the car since buying last November.
I would go with 18" myself because I think the 19" would be too harsh and with the tires that low in profile, I would forever be having them straightened after hitting some pothole or curb edge.

BTW, my wheels were a Dealer upgrade on the car when I bought them. Had they not been, I'd not have done the upgrade.

Your opinion is different. That's OK, I don't have a problem with that, why do you...??

ha....sorry MN, I ain't mad at ya....I think thats 2-pac.....but yeah no all I was pointing out was the reasoning you had from18 to 19 could be used by some guys on 17's....you're right, its just a matter of taste.....

bringer, I'm in the same boat....I dropped a lot on my car new so changing rims is a delicate subject with the woman, by delicate I mean

the one thing I noticed is that you can get factory carerra's with rubbers on ebay for right around 2200-2500 and they are 19's.....I am usually to nervous to trust it and hate myself in the end.....
