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
For me, I think it looks better just by lowering it, which will improve the handling as well, and is better than changing the wheels.
Leading evidence: 'Replace wheels' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace wheels' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I don't know of anyone on here with 19s on their 996 - do you have a picture of the wheels.
The 997GT3s with the colour coded wheels look the business!

Sundeep, I see you have your towing eye installed. Is that a permanent fixture these days with that dodgy battery of yours :wink:

that was probably because the car came with a C4S manual...... although I still havent found the 4wd system though !

I've got some 18" split rim GT3's with black centres and silver rims and i think they look superb on a black car.....mind you i think a lot of things but it doesn't make them so.....

I think coloured wheels look best with the darker or grey metallic colours. I'm not sure lapis will suit them.
But it is a personal choice thing.
I don't know if there is any advantage to putting 19's on the car, other than aesthetic reasons.
Porsche never supplied them as an option on the 996.
Only comment I would make is to weigh them (or ask the weight). If they are significantly different to the standard hollow spokes (inc. the tyres), then you might want to consider adjustable dampers to allow for it, otherwise it will alter the handling.
For me, I think it looks better just by lowering it, which will improve the handling as well, and is better than changing the wheels. I'd do this, if it weren't for ground clearance issues (I scrape the splitter every few days as it is).
Personally, I like the RUF wheels.
Some of the fancy spoke designs also increase aerodynamic drag and reduce the top speed by a couple of miles an hour.

Someone had black turbo wheels on a black turbo at waddesdon last year - thought looked good ! But of course if the car is riviera blue (see posts on another thread) like the one paragon are selling ... NO!!
Oh and 19"s look great and fill the arches better, especially at the front where i think al cars pre 997 look undertyred, but I think detract a bit from the steering feel. 18" with a small spacer and lowered a few mm looks good if it is looks that you are after.
