The PG3's look nothing like Gemballas.

I thought I had my mind made up, you guys are a bad influence.
I thought I was going to do the Fikse but was waiting to see if the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup was available in GT 2 sizes. If they weren't available soon, then settle for the Corsa.
Now, I'm not sure any more!
Nobody is saying anything about BBS.
Jack's wheels look great!

There are many great looking wheels available for the car. For me, the only downsides to 19" wheels are the relatively scarce selection of proper fitting tires offered in the US, the extra weight of a 19" wheel as compared to its 18" counterpart and the greater susceptibility of 19" wheels to damage/bending from road irregularities. Aesthetically, 19" wheels look fantastic. A larger wheel can really provide a wonderful view of those great looking Porsche brakes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> If you like that "larger" look, make sure that you get the reverse lip design on any multi-piece wheel, whether 18 or 19".
Here's a great PIC of the RUF 19" one- piece wheel on a friend's car and another (shameless
) PIC of the Gemballa 18" Competition wheel... <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />
