Ease up on the tone there, will ya?
Actually a lot of 987 owners claim they cannot feel the diff between 18" and 19" because of PASM. I have no doubt there is some diff with a normal suspension, or suspension in sport mode.
So like you say, it IS a matter of physics, the physics of PASM
I think that the deciding factor is whether or not the car *HAS* PASM. My personal opinion based on extended test drives of several, variously equipped 987's is that with PASM the 19" wheels seem fine and dandy, but without PASM the 19's seem to be to the detriment of the ride with minimal improvement to handling.
On a car such as mine that is not PASM equipped, the 18" rims seem the better choice for a good combination of ride and handling.
The good news is that if I discover my observations were incorrect, the 19" Carrera rims can be purchased for $2900.00 a set. With a probable resale of my 18" rims in the $1400.00 range the additional money needed to "upgrade" would be about the same as what the 19" option costs to begin with. Less $1000.00 in tires of course!
Please let me know if your lenses fit correctly, and if there is a Porsche part number on the packaging.
