E60VTA,
I like to stay with 18 wheel as this car is for my wife. It's too bad the two styles I like most, yours and 172, are only available in 19 inch size.

As to the 997S, it is hard to explain. Physically the car fit fine. It drove like a dream - best of all the Porsches I have owned. Maybe it is my age and station in life, but I found it increasingly hard to get in and out of - very low to the ground. My wife did also.
Because I wanted to stay with 18, I emailed thewheelexchange re. a wheel that is similar to yours but is in size 18. It is made in China. Yikkeessss !!! (Although, considering how a few OEM 124's have split in half recently, how could this be worse.)
Would you please comment on the ride of the 19? Has it become too hard? I realize it's a different comparison, as your new tires now are not run flats?
Sorry 997 doesn't work out anymore. In your case I agree the 550 is much more practical.

I have not found the 19" wheels to be uncomfortable at all.
