that's just one more thing i attribute to the global assimilation of hip hop music

as to "better" looking on 19's.. i don't agree they look better but it's of course a personal preference, but you're certainly right that performance/handling capabilities are impacted less than favorably when running 19's on a 996t. i've gone both routes, and believe the best "look" as well handling is 18's and lowered. having said that, i also think the increase in rubber to the ground in either gt2 sizes or even a 9" front as i run, is well worth the price of admission.
