IMHO, 19's look good on a 996 and 18's look good on a 993. From my experience with both, there really will not be a whole lot of difference in ride quality, however, performance (turn in) will suffer.

i have switched b/w tt 18's and the ruf 19's and felt no ride difference on the street.

the 19's have a different finish that is almost pearlescent looking , and the larger wheels just looks better to me.

both the ruf 18's and 19's are nice, but if you are going to the trouble of changing, why not get a complete second set of wheels and tires and keep the originals for/if when you sell the car

i'm sorry to hijack, but what wax did you use for your car? Is that Zaino or Rejex?

dr kenneth e garchow

its not the wax, its the prep

Tour18

Wax, prep, whatever. That is one sweet ride, Doc...

Don't want to spend another grand or whatever the cost for new tires for the 19" wheels. Don't really need a second set anyway. If I save the wheels, and I might, they will take up less room in the garage. The wife will be happier that way.

Doc,

Lastly, and most importantly, I like the look of the 18" wheels better. Thanks for your input.
Beautiful car by the way.

Ziad

Wow. That really is a very beautiful car...

dr kenneth e garchow

thanks....i drove it out to see the new 997 @ the dealer and it got as much attention as the new car

Cliff Leve

got the 18" in today, they forgot to ship the spacers. The wheels look great. Will have them on by teusday of next week.

dr kenneth e garchow

Cliff Leve
