Actually when I ordered the size on tirerack I got a call from them on my mobile phone the next day, verifying that I really wanted that size. I then confirmed (and convinced them) and then they shipped it.
Pretty good customer service, ey?

That is good customer service. I have had nothing but great experiences with Tire Rack which is why I keep going back.

I run 225/40/18 on the fronts and 265/35/18 on the backs. Just what you see here. Nice feel and handling...I do not performance drive at all...to old for that anymore.

Yup, that's what I'm running right now as well. I got an alignment done last year and maxed out the front negative camber at a whopping .5 degree and it helped but it still has a propensity to push in slow corners. I'm just looking for an extra edge out on the autocross course. Since I run in stock class there isn't a whole lot I can do and still stay legal.

O Crap...you have a 6-speed. Wanted one myself, but settled for this old farts Boxster instead. Still fun to drive.

LOL! Me too, old Phart that is, just turned 69 last Oct.
Now I have a wheel dilemma. I have a set of 8x18F & 10x18R five spoke Carrera Lightweights. I need to have them refurbished before they are presentable but they were cheap enough to consider getting them spruced up. Original Porsche wheels from a C4, '02. I am currently running the straight windmill spoke specific to the '01 Boxster, 7x17 F & 8.5x17R which I am fond of plus the width of tire still delivers decent mileage. What I wonder is what, if any, weight increase will be if I switch to the 18's? Cost of tires is a bit more expensive but not that bad. Any buddy have weighed their 18's for comparison? Also when you switched to 18's, did your mileage suffer?
