I'm interested aswell, and as surprised as you to see nobody has a picture. I have some Carrera wheels I wanted to try this winter, so I'll post them, but that's still a few months out.

I've broken 17" rims and bubbled tires on the crazy potholes around here during winter. So 19" 35 series tires were totally out of the question for me. Ride quality is exactly the same, not what I expected (I thought it would be softer). Not sure whether the lighter weight makes it feel more "alive." Fit and finish are great, I think if thr wheels weren't black they would look really small, but as it is I am not embarrassed to have them on the car.

When I got my 07 turbo, I wanted to go to a softer ride with 18" rubber but tire specialists repeatedly said that the porsche suspension was designed for 19s, so 18s would do nothing for improved ride quality but might add some side-to side movement in sharp turns. I found much better ride comfort when I went 18 from 19 on my M3, but these same guys said that was due to a BMW suspension that was made most likely for 18s and the 19s came optional.
