Did anyone else spec 20' rims on the base car?

When I completed my build I was content with the standard 19' wheels but I liked the look of the 20' Carrera S wheels better so at the last minute I decided to order them as an option. I have read some professional reviews where the ride on the 19s was compared favorably to that of the 20s. I imagine this has alot to do with the surface but does anyone know if there is any particular reason the base car comes standard with 19's? I can't imagine they would let you order 20's as an option if it somehow adversely affected the way the car drives and handles. The idea that I have made a mistake is gnawing at me. My build is due to be completed 3/8 and I am wondering if it is too late to have my dealer make a call and have them stick with the 19's. Does anybody know if such a change could be made this late in the process?

20´s on a base here. I´m pretty sure its because the C2 is the base model, with base wheels, which happen to be 19".. You´re fine, don´t worry about it!

hashrogers is infamous around these parts
I was thinking of the same think. Was building my spec and was wondering 19 or 20.

Can you share you specs?

Thanks

S Chrono is irrelevant on a manual tranny car and I drove a demo with PSE and found I preferred the standard exhaust. It is interesting to note the standard exhaust on the 991 is identical to the PSE on the 997. Save the $$.
