There's been some mention of using 17" wheels on the track: tires less expensive, etc.
Okay, so can we dicuss the merits/drawbacks of 17" vs 18" wheels with their proportionate tires on the Boxster ( or 986, or Porsche Roadster, or Ssssss, haha) 
No, seriously though.  |
Performance difference and tire choice is probably not noticeable.
Appearance is completely subjective.
Cost and weight, hat tip 17" wheels.
Pick your poison.
