Carrera III 18" wheel on 987S?

[UKBXSTR]

Not sure whether the hub design is so different that spacers are the only option - and large ones at that

Why go 18 Carreras when the 19 Carrera are on the options list ??

There's also a new 9 Spoke Carrera wheel available now in europe - check the on-line configurator

In Germany you'll be able to specify the 18" Caymna wheel form Dec 05 builds for an upgrade cost of about $400

(1) It should be a lot cheaper for the 18" wheels {over $1,000 compared to the 19") and then also for the tires replaced over time.

(2) I've read enough to have formed the belief -- based only on opinions of others and not my own inadequate personal experience -- that the 18" provide both a more comfortable ride and better handling.

So, while I like the look of the 19" Carrera Classics, I'd rather have the 18" Carrera IIIs -- if they fit and I can get them on a 987S.
