I know several people who tried 19's and nothing but bent rims and harsh ride.

I certainly like the 18" look. I also think a nicely (tastefully) modded car looks great with 18's. A mostly stock car with Cup 1's is a really pleasant, vintage kind of look. It's hard to go wrong either way with a 964.

Imagine the D90 in a 17 or 18" which would = slightly longer spokes on the wheel. Hmmm...

No need to imagine. A wheel company called Augment Wheels sells D90 style wheels in 17" and 18" diameters.

Nice but it looks like they made the center flat surface larger and kept the spokes about the same length. I was thinking of a D90 with longer spokes.

all these D90s are missing the 'bling' factor. my car's original D90s.



also running 18s. 18s fit the car perfectly, imo.
