Yeah, I know 18-20 wheels are heavier and of course the narrow sidewalls lead to rim damage.

On the other hand, back when I had my 1994 T-Bird the stock ride was a bit too bouncy for me so when time to re-tire I upgraded from 15" to 16" wheels and it rode much better (think I went from 50 series to 40) same with my Miata, wanted to go all racer rick on it and upgraded the stock 14" to 15" (also from 50 to 40) most of the online Miata community recommended not going over 15" (except the style boys).
However I would think Porsche would resist the trend, historically they have been more form follows function.
