Electronically controlled damping force is definitely something I want to experience though. I haven't sat in a PASM equipped car before.
Understood and for record I agree. However it was explained to me like this..

P went away from 17-18" simply cause of structural strength. Also to meet performance expectations of enthusiasts for a lower sidewall and better cornering car in the end. I tried a boxster with 18" wheels and meaty tires no PASM, then a Cayman with 20" wheels and PASM same ride no joke. I do myself as well mentally agree the looks of a 18-19" max wheel diameter "looks better" however fact is ride is in fact same I couldn't tell the difference.
