I live in Greece and the roads are not so good...but I do love the 19' wheels Carrera S rad looks'.I have driven a boxster s 987 manual with 18inch wheels and a boxster s 987 tiptronic with 19inch wheels and the tiptronic car was much slower then the manual one. That is why I was wondering whether the wheels had their effect on this too.

What about tuning it? Has anybody in this forum done anything similar? My aim is to get it to reliable 320ps. I ve never found though any company offering such a package except speedart who says they boost it with 35hp extra hp with only intake, exhaust and ecu. Has anybody tried that? In the previous boxster s (986)what was the maximum reliable horsepower that somebody could have?
