19's street on Champions, 18's for track here as well.
My ride is a bit rough with 19's and Cross JIC. I intend to try softer settings.

I have another question to add, if I put on 19" rims, is the car going to look dumb not lowered at all?

I had 19's on my last 2 cars (C4S and E55) but swapped them for 18's both times. NYC roads are too harsh IMHO. My cars were daily drivers - if they were pure play cars I might have kept the 19's.

I have 19" TA Formula's and I love the look, and don't notice the ride..... BUT, I have replaced ALL FOUR wheels at different times because of road damage.

Not sure if it's a 19" wheel thing or not?

I also have 19" Tech Arts and love the look. Did have to roll the fenders but its worth it - nothing helps the look of the car more than wheels. I did not notice any meaninful difference in the ride compared to the stock 18' wheels but my car is a weekend ()no track) ride so looks are most important to me.

Mine came with 19" zones. All the bling factor but not sure if they wont be too wide if I lower the car with M030 or X73 suspension. Rolling the rear lips looks like a pain compared to 993 and earlier cars. Car doesn't ride as hard as my 993 with 18" and an RS suspension under it.

I like my 19's looks wise way better. I can not tel a difference between the 19's or my 18's. The tires are cheaper for 18's Oh yeah I have JIC Cross 2 / 5

I regret getting 19's on my old BMW. the ride was way to harsh and they wheels bent easily. Also remember this was in a leightweiight BMW, about 2,900 lbs. A heavier car will only bend wheels more easily. They look BADASS Though. I will post some pics later today, got to go study now.
