2003 Boxster S w/ 10000 miles purchsed used with 8600 miles on it. A 4 wheel alignment and complete suspension inspection was done by my dealer @ 9500 miles after the Kinesis rims and PS2's were installed, they gave it a clean bill of health.

I live in Florida but the previous owner lived in rural PA (I suspect my roads are a lot better then his were). The car came to me with 17" turbo twists in 17x7 and 17x9 sizes (aftermarket wheels installed by Brandywine Porsche when the car was delivered new) and the original AVS Sports. On the 1000 mile drive home from the purchase the car exhibited only moderate vibration in the rear at speed above 100 mph. To my knowledge the car has never been damaged.

To this point the car has had 17x7 and 17x9 wheels with the stock 205 and 255 tires and 18x8 and 18x9.5 wheels with the stock 225 and 265 tires.

I think I know where you are going with this, the car's suspension is perfect as are the rims. Runout on the Kinesis rims is less than .010 in all directions. To my knowledge it was never tracked though I have done one Autocross.
