Hi all. Just wondering what the benefits are from 17 to 18 inch wheels for an S other than looks. I found a set of Porsche 18s wheels for $600. No tires, just wheels. Is there a performance benefit and is it worth the extra cost of wheels and bigger set of tires? The tires on my 17s need to be replaced anyway so nows the best time to w the change. Thanks.
