I have an 05, and Mach, how's the ride on the 19's? I've been eyeing the Carrera classic 19's.....

the ride is not too bad - but I have only 5000 miles and my car developed a terrible vibration - after much deliberation with the dealer to get them to investigate the vibration, they determined 3 of the 4 tires were defective - I have new tires which were ordered from the factory and will be put on the car next week (a frustrating point as I brought the vibration issue to their attention almost a month ago). The 19" tires are about $350 a piece and unless you're lucky, if you get a flat, you'll have a few day wait as it sounds like most tire dealers don't keep any of these in stock! Porsche actually had to order my replacement tires from Indiana!

my suggestion, if you go up to 19" - buy an extra front and rear tire to keep in your garage, in the event you have a flat you have an immediate replacment!
