I went to my first AutoX on Sunday with the PCA Chesapeake Region and boy... did I have fun!!! I have the OEM 18" wheels and I was considering getting a set of R-compound rated tires and maybe a used set of wheels so that I don't damage mine.
I have seen many different Boxsters on track with 17 and 18 inch wheels. I know that by changing to 17" wheels the tire profile will increase, so is this better for track/AutoX??? What are your thoughts??
Thanks
