Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

PS - Lucky for me that later on when I look into maybe getting a Porsche that I am a big fan of the 18" rims put on the Turbo (especially the ones put on the 993 TT.) At least those should be better for street use than that of the 19's from the way you speak above.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay, so my Sport Classic II's look ace but thinking about these 19" alloys from Cargraphic. Porsche dealer says don't bother but Cargraphic suppliers say it's cool. Anyone had experience of going to 19" on a 996? Cargrpahic (German language but picture)

POST 2Original post

I have observed at least a dozen cars with 19" wheels. To date every single one that was on the road had some sort of wheel/rim damage. My advise is 19" wheels look cool but you will forever be paying to have them fixed or straightened. Stay with the 18" Sport Classics and save yourself some trouble with pot holes and curbs. YMMV Al H. (AS C4 Cab)

POST 3Original post

Darn it, I didn't know that 19" rims could cause that many problem on a Porsche. They look so darn sweet though man, it's almost like maybe they would be worth it! lol Ted PS - Lucky for me that later on when I look into maybe getting a Porsche that I am a big fan of the 18" rims put on the Turbo (especially the ones put on the 993 TT.)

New to the board (ex-Boxster owner) I have 19inch SAC on my MY99 C2. No problems so far except the clear coat peeling off the lip. So far so good!
