Common knowledge is that there is no significant difference in performance betwen 18s and 19s in a _driver's_ car like the 997. Some say that 17s are just as good performance wise as 19s!

So, the next question is compared to the C2's 18s what are the drawbacks of these 19s on the C2S?

When you hit a pot hole are they more likely to bend the hub out of aligment?

Are the 19s somehow built (forged?) to be equally as strong, and as likely to bend as the 18s?

Bothers me to think Porsche, for the sake of looks, would make the car less reliable, less practical by putting wheels which are more vulnerable to damage on roadways.
