I think I would also prefer 18's
My car came with the base 18" Carrera III wheels. At first I thought they were kinda boring. But they've started to grow on me. Nonetheless I still will probably upgrade them in the at some point in the future.
I would love to find a great set of 18" wheels that aren't any heavier than what I already have and look good to me. But that hasn't happened yet. The I may eventually go with 19" wheels if I decide I want to upgrade to larger brakes. I don't know if the S brakes or aftermarket Bembo's would fit in 18s.

I'm seriously considering a 997.2 CS. While a lot of the cars in the 20" threads look neat, I happen to roll in the other direction with wheels...the smaller/lighter, the better. Is there anyone out there who shares this philosophy and has equipped their cars accordingly? All 18s are most welcome, and by all means 17s too, if they'll fit...

Carmon Red with a tan interior
I do get a fair amount of positive comments about the colors on my car.
The car is lowered to the same height in both pics. Its just that in the upper one I'm moving and making a right turn which probably has a bit more lean on the drivers side giving the impression of the car being lower than it actually is.
I love the color also. I just wish there weren't so many rock chips on the front. Plus the few nicks here and there on the doors that have built up over the years. My next project will be to give something like Dr. Colorchip or Langka a try.

Carmon Red
The color of the paint is called Carmon Red. I think that the interior color is called Cognac.

Love the color of your car!. I have the 18" Carrera III wheels and wouldn't trade them for the world. They truly are the perfect wheel for a daily driver. If you get bored you could always paint or powder coat another color.
