+1 on what BYprodriver said above. I have a 97 boxster with a full race suspension and I run 17's at the track and 18's on the street... both sets of rims have the exact same brand of tire, btw... and I can tell a world of difference in ride comfort with the 17's on the car vs. the better looking 18's.

OP, it would be far better to buy an S to get that HP you'll wish you had when you want or need it, then buy some nice 17 inch rims and tires for the car if it comes with 18's or even 19's. Chances are, you can sell the larger rims for more than you'll pay for the used set of Porsche 17's.
