Rims of RUF

Hi there,
Actually this is my first time participating in such forum, and I really need someone to help with my issue, which is:
Im intending to replace the original rims of my car with the rims of RUF, however, I found that there are two sizes, 18 and 19.
I want to know, which is the best size for my car?
And whether replacing rims would affect the performance of my car from all aspects?

For driveability, I would recommend staying with 18s. If you are looking for looks, whatever you like best. I personally like the looks of the 19 RUF better than the 18s.

Fixing those rims would not affect the performance of the car? I mean accelerating, breaking..etc
did you understand what i mean?

In my opinion, turn in and acceleration are affected when you go to the 19 RUF. The 18's perform better. I have had 18" HRE, OEM and 19" HRE and RUF on my 993TT.

I am also considering RUF 18" wheels for my 993TT - any ideas on where they can be purchased? The only listing on EBay is "RUF style" - no thanks.

What does a set of genuine RUF wheels cost from RUF?

Ruf Auto Centre? They are a site sponsor. You might also want to post a wanted ad. That's how I tracked down a pair of the 19s. Good luck.
