Fair comment I suppose.
But I don't like the ride with 18" wheels, and have always liked to keep my cars original, there seems to be an obsession for getting larger and larger wheels, and adding bits on; and as you say "each to his own"
As the car is a Carrera 4 I would like the orginal wheels that came with it !

I agree with your comments about the obsession with over-sized wheels.
The BMW M3 rode and handled much better on 18" wheels although most people specified 19" wheels. The best and fastest Caterhams run on 13" wheels. The smaller wheels and, slightly, higher profile tyres will provide a more comfortable, and usually quieter, ride and provide more progressive handling. I'm sure that, for UK roads, the 997 will be a nicer car on 18" wheels.
However, aesthetics rule and most people want the coolest look. Although the C4 had its own wheel design, you seldom see them as most people specify one of the 18" options.
