I prefer your original wheels.
The 19"s look a bit odd, but I think it's down to the design, not the size.
The RUF wheels on the first page of this thread look the dogs danglers!

I am very new to this amazing country; is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I absolutely LOVE the mesh design, and even more-so the reversed-lip ones as the mesh-fingers are longer, and not stubby looking like a 'cheater wheel'.

A cheater wheel is an 18-inch rim stepped down to meet a 17-inch center; the result is stubby-looking mesh fingers on a too-fat looking rim. My 18-inch CarGraphics are cheaters, and I much prefer their 19's since both the rim and center are specifically 19-inch, and to me, are very elegant while looking aggressive.

I do not like Fikse's at all since all their rims over 17-inch are cheaters, and to me, look like crap with WAY too much rim and not enough center. Their FM10's have the stubbiest, disproportional fingers of all mesh wheels.

I have a set of mesh-style 17-inch Kodiak track rims, and they're cheaters too with their 16-inch center!

All factory Porsche wheels are boring/pedestrian to me, with the 928 'Flats' the ugliest wheel ever put onto a car. Those RUF's on an earlier page look great...

To each their own! Everyone enjoy your wheels if they make you go 'scha-wing!', regardless of what others may think.

Definitely a good thing.
I've only been here 2yrs, so maybe it's British saying

Franklin229, The photo is actually of a silver center/polished barrel wheel (like yours) that I did some photoshop work to.
I even put a yellow caliper sticker on the lip.

The british would say that they are the "dogs bollocks"....I should know I am English....and yes it is a good thing.....if they were bad it might be a "dogs breakfast"......or for somebody not so good looking they might look like a "bulldog chewing a wasp"......if you want anymore British/ English sayings we can discuss next time we meet up at an event.
All the best for your racing this season

or as some would suggest the dogs bollocks with a small *****.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my wheels, I think? Seriously, thanks for the compliment.

Jools - Thanks for the info. Noted. I'll have to drop the phrase "dog's danglers" around my British friends.

David - Good to know. It would have been cool if the restaurant we went to served Dutch's Daughter Dog's Danglers.

Thanks for the well-wishes!

My 0.02 cents - Love the black twists with polished rims on a black car.. New 19 inchers look like "pimpy daddy" to me..

how much are a set of 18" Cargraphic wheels and where can they be purchased best?

I think they look great, I personally like the look of the 19's

FisterD

In that case, I think we should all go back to 15" wheels..
