Sport Designs, Sport Classic or 996 GT3 wheels?
I am replacing my turbo-look chrome wheels with a set of OEM 996 C4 narrow-body wheels 'cause the chrome is really peeling! Could you guys help out with making a decision between Sport Designs, Sport Classic, or GT3 Wheels? I narrowed to these because they look good, keep the character of the car, and can be found for a good deal.
1) Would putting GT3 wheels decrease value of a 996 C4 due to a Franken-car effect? Does the increased width from 7.5"->8" and 10"->11" have noticeable performance improvement?
2) If I find some sport designs/classics, is it much more preferable to get the 8" fronts (instead of 7.5")?
3) Outside of these, would putting 19" wheels decrease performance? Like mess up gear ratios, put undue stress on suspension system, etc. I am tempted to look at 19-inchers because of looks and the mo-bigga effect, but it seems like I might compromise performance.
4) Anyone got pixxxx! Porsche wheel **** would be much appreciated!
-- thank you!!

I have some of the sport classics for sale...(wheels and tires).
They are 7.5's in the front and 10's for the back. I had them listed for $1400 in the classifieds (and here) but I will let them go for $1000 plus shipping. I'm thinking about ebaying them so let me know. (by the way, these are in decent shape but not perfect. They each have some small imperfection. They work fine (no bends) and could be refinnished to be perfect.
Here are some pictures:

Not trying to hijack...but if anyone is interested in my sport classics, let me know ASAP. I think $1000 plus shipping is a pretty good deal. I'm going with Ebay Friday.
thanks
