I'm trying to access whether I like or dislike the 19" on 993 look. (I know many on the forums here have strong preferences on wheel diameters and I've ready many of them.)
RL Foude's Artic Silver w/red interior + Iris blue I posted is the only 993 with 19's. Honestly I've never seen a 993 in person with 19" LMs so couldn't give you a legitimate answer, only these pics and I know things tend to look different live.

Even 18's when reverse mounted look pretty big, from certain angles you may even think they are 19's.

On a NB, IMO I would only go 18's.

WB I'd give preference to 18's now that I have them, but given the rarity in the used market I wouldn't turn down a nice set of 19's too.

I agree. I think the LM's are great on 993's. When I envisioned what my dream car would look like when done,it had LM's. I actually owned the wheels before I found the car,and embarked on the journey.

Here's a thread regarding reverse mounting the centers:

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ounting+bbs+lm

This particular set started life on the arctic silver / boxster red turbo X50 posted above & ended up on AMGFan's 'reimagined' polar turbo.

Foude's C4S remains one of my all time favorites.
