Ruf wheels

I am having trouble deciding, so does anyone have pics of either the one-piece or three-piece wheels on their narrow-body 996? Although the one-piece does look better in a 19", I do not want the harsher ride, so I am going to stick with the 18's; however, if I go the 3-piece route, I will bump up to an 11" rear. Tires are pretty shot, so I need to make a decision soon.

w/ tire technology developing so much the last few years, 19's won't be much harsher then 18's

I have some 18" TechArt 3-piece (8" and 11")...willing to sell cheap if you are interested...they are true and look fine, but need new lips or need lips re-polished.

couldn't agree more. with the right tire, the ride difference is negligible.

I went from pirelli P zero's on my 18's to mich PS2's on my 19's and the PS2's actually feel better than the 18's did.

Kevin -

When you went to the 19"s, did you also go 295 for the rears?
