Default Show some love for the 19’s?

Funny, I read many comments on how the 19’s were just too small aesthetically for the 991.2. Based on that I almost wrote them off. But I always have had a thing for simple sporty 5 spoke wheels. In the end, I think it’s that basic premise IMHO that works so well on the 911. No regrets whatsoever now. Every time I see other forum member’s 19’s I think the same thing

Those 19's are my favorite wheel for 991.2. They're not too small at all. The tire amount on those is perfect.

I think from some angles they look a little small on a 991, but I really like the style. If they did this same style in 20” would be perfect for me.

I have my OEMs painted Satin Black (winter tires) and have a set of 19” Finnspeed Spyders in Satin Black on order (summer tires).
I’ve been happy with them after the last three cars had 20s.

‘yes the bonus of course for winter is not quite the low profile of the 20’s and they do ride very well due to that.

I have the stock 19s for my 2017 C2 in both summer and winter sets. Besides the look, which I like, the extra sidewall height is both comfortable and has some shock compliance on pavement edges and potholes. Nice for those of us that drive in the real world.

20s tend to bend on impact much more than 19s

19s much more quiet and complaint

OEM 19s powder coated black during pre delivery detailing. The Finnspeeds for the summer tires should be shipping in the next week or so. Also Satin Black.
I know the Racedeck is dirty. Been feeling lazy.
