Are there any pros? I can think of a lot of cons:
- Availability of tires
- Price of tires
- Much much greater risk of curb rash
- Harsher ride
- Greater risk of bent rims
- Inappropriate for our suspension design (wheels and suspension are designed together!)
- Looks anachronistic on our cars
Apologies to anyone running 19" wheels. It's JMHO.

Eric is probably right about the cons of going with 19"s. I think its a matter of personal preference. Also going with 19"s reversed lip and step lip will make a difference in the looks. My 993TT is not a daily driver and I like the looks so that's why I went with 19"s.

A pic of Scott's new 3.8 Turbo with 19" Ruf wheels next to Tony's car. Looks pretty sweet to me. I have always love the 19" Ruf wheels.

p.s. Tony, do you have shot of your car from rear. Didn't you mention a change to the rear end of your car to a Euro Rear Bumper?

1) how it looks is dependant on the wheel design, and the black centers pictured above are beautiful. And the RUFs 19s always look good, but only on widebody's imho
2) performance wise, there is NO reason to use 19s. They're expensive, heavier, and provide no advantage.
