That Techart looks like an 18" and the Ruf looks like a 19", both are a nice choice, depends on the look you want.

I like both, but I like the Techarts a bit more.
18's or 19's ??
Are you trying to decide between black Techarts and silver RUFs?

we have the same problem here bro . check the TT board.

for ur case, i'd say 18" looks better than 19"s (19" looks too big on regular narrow 911). have u checked out Porsche 18" sport techno's. i think that looks the best on ur car.

well, here i vote for techart

Yep 19" Ruf and 18" TechArt I am pretty stuck on the black wheel look I was just playing around with it and wanted to share. I agree the 19's look much better on Wide Body 996's. Plus the car will be lowered with the ROW M030

I usually like the Ruf but not in this case

The techarts seem to look better with the car.

The 19" RUf's look great. I dont know where you live, but I couldnt drive around with such large wheels. The roads here in NYC/LI are terrible. If that does not matter go for the 19's and paint them the color of the Techarts. The darker wheels emphasize the red brakes much more. If you gotta get smaller wheels RUF sell's 18" versions. You can also go for the carrera wheels or Gemballa competitions.

Don't go with the ROW suspension, it's a waste of money. The drop is minimal. Go with a coilover suspension, you'll be happier.

I am fine with the ROW suspension the drop is enough to make a difference I am not looking for an ultra low ride hieght nor extremly stiff suspension. I think the M030 on these cars feel great.

I am going with Black 18" Techarts!
