Here was the c4 with bbs on, before I went with fashion statement. Really could feel the change and not for the better.

mountainC4.....I don't think Ben (besides clubbin Friday night), has ever clocked lap times with 18's vs. 19's. Sure a great driver can post fast lap times on 19's but I'm willing to bet that same great driver can post quicker lap times on 18's.

Hey Ben, I don't blame you, I would be doin' the same thing if I was single. Being married, I bought my 996 for track days, not gettin' the ladies at the valet .

Thanks- Not that big of a deal, just curious since they are supposed to be Porsche's "lightest" OEM wheels.

I love the look of 19's but I think the 20's look out of proportion.
