I'm slowly looking for street wheels for my C4S, didn't see yet a design that i would fall in love right away. I bought the car with 18" BBKs installed which I don't really like and plan using them at track events.
I'm thinking getting 19" for regular street usage. Any pro/cons/issues/suggestions for that???
Please also post pictures of your favorite designs.
I paid an extra $1000 to get the car with both sets of wheels. The sport designs were on the option code, but I like Fuchs. They appear to be starke wheels from tire rack.
I have a set of NIB 18" Gemballa LeMans in 9" & 11" fitment, would probably need spacers for your wide body car ~~~~ sorry no center caps
also I have a set wide body fitment Turbo Twists / Hollow Spoke in phenomenal condition 8" & 11" ~~~~ sorry no center caps
I'd stay away from 19". The Fuch repo's are a timeless design and will make any car look good. Saw a set on and old 2wd Toyota pick up and it really stood out.

I have the Sport Technos on my C4S. Came as a factory option, look good and not many others have them.
+996 and +951 on Sport Techno II - Not many ppl know about them and run them. They are relatively light with hollow spokes, came as an option on 996TT and can easily accommodate 295-315 mm section width in the rears... up to 245 mm in the fronts. I use them on my Silver Rose in my sig.
Not sure if your car is Arctic, but if you want some visuals on a C4s....
Bought the car with 19" Carrera Classics (997) and would have kept them, but they were worn out aesthetically, were not oem (replicas) and were NB fitment with 23mm rear spacers....
So I went with Forgestar CFV-5 19" wheels in gloss black and they are lighter than the oem hollow spokes...
So to answer your question, there's nothing wrong with 19" wheels on a 996 C4s, they don't rub or have any fitment issues. I think most prefer 18's because 18's are typically lighter than 19's and provide a bit more comfortable ride. After i update my suspension and lower it a bit, i may experiment with 18's as I've had BBS RS-GT's on previous cars and think they would look great on my car. Only time will tell.
As for sport technos, I'm not a fan. I love a 5 star wheel, but in person, I just don't think they look great -- rather chunky looking....
