Interesting MMD,

I have noted, that the apparent size of the wheel depends upon the design eg the 18 BBS RS-GT seems large as the spokes go well out to the rim's edge near the tire. Other wheels appear smaller, like the rims on my Acura TL------I had them both side by side with the Classic II rims of the 997.....and the BBS 18s were best....

My 997 with PASM (therefore lowered relative to standard) and the BBS 18s looks beautiful, very balanced and wheely! It is also the size of the car's opening for the wheel that contributes ,and the colors of wheel and car.

Anyway, one of my dislikes of the S 3.8 was both the size 19 and design of the wheels.

Choose a good wheel that complements the car and will not notice the size---and the comfort level is strikingly improved improved.

This fetish with rim size is often absurd, and many cars are looking odd with so much wheel!
