Coming from country, where we have a winter and potholes, 19” has been my choice and I wanted to share how comfortable that is - goes like a tank over rough surfaces. Highly recommend if you plan to use Taycan in similar conditions. And, they actually look great :)

I have the 19" rims on mine and I can agree, it drives very smooth. I wasn't over keen on all the silver so I wrapped half the blades in carbon fibre.
I literally was thinking the same thing. Glad to see they look as amazing as I thought in my head. The main thing I dislike about the OEM is how the silver curves in to the black lug nuts and you totally fixed that.

Did you do this work yourself? If so, how and where did you get the carbon fiber?

with @SYN_Skydance encouragement, I gave it a try. I am a complete noob but also a bit OCD, so I was not looking forward to it. What I eventually realized is that unless I am inches away from the wheel, I don't notice the imperfections (of not a perfect cut or something like that) anyway.

This is what I used

I just received my 4S and originally configured 19-inch wheels, at which point my U.S. Porsche dealer said, “We only order 20- or 21-inch wheels.” I chose the Aero wheels shown, except they have the single-color crest. I’m pleased with how they look, and how they perform on less than perfect pavement, and I gather from what the dealer said that 19-inch wheels would adversely affect trade-in value, for example.

I absolutely love the look! How long does the wrap last?

Thanks. It stayed on for quite a while. I recon it will probably need changing every 12 months.
