I never get tired of looking at the F14's though. But this would be an awesome combination for the track!!

if i had to guess.. i'd say the 19's are hubcentric. 18s are not. the "ring" isn;t a big deal though.
seriously. it has to be the marketplace. maybe a marketing decision based upon not enough guys knowing 18's handle better and are better suited to our *lowered* cars? ( ducking )
oh well.

oh well.Nah, more so with everyone going big and bling. Even the car manufacturers are putting big ole wheels on the car. It's about looks. lightweight 19's won't steal away too much performance, especially on the street where you can't really drive the car at the limit anyways. I understand the logic, just don't care for it.

Here are a few more pics of these wheels on a 996tt (mine!) for those of you looking to see these from different angles etc. I was on the fence between a few different wheels but decided on these in the end.
I agonized over color/finish and offsets but went with:
19 X 8.5" ET 43 front
19 X 11" ET 28 rear
Gunmetal (gloss) finish
When I opened the boxes and mounted them, I breathed a sigh of relief since I knew I'd gone with some aggressive offsets but my math said it would be right...and it is! I haven't been able to stop looking at the car since.

Looks great! What tire sizes did you use?

The tires I'm running are F:245/35/19 and R:295/30/19. The jump to 245 in front had a noticeable effect on turn in and cornering "bite". Definitely an improvement.

The wheels are not hub centric. They'll come with hub centric rings for you to use and you wont have any issues!
