18" RIMS AND TIRES:
I'll soon have a white 1997 Boxster. It's been recommended to upgrade to 18" RIMS for a cooler look. If so, I have some questions:
~ What does this do to the "feel" of the ride (bumpier, better road feel, ect)?
~ Are any additional modifications needed if I do?
~ What rims and tires do you recommend?

SHORT SHIFTER KIT:
Also, after driving it, I think a short shifter kit may be a great thing for me. Questions:
~ Does this make a significant difference in feel?
~ If one is installed, are there any additional problems or complications that can occur?
~ Which brand do you recommend as the best?
