Rims and tires
 

Hello, new to the forum. My question is how will 20" rims effect driving. I know 19 is preferred but I have a great deal tht will save me over $1k on 20's over the 19's. I will use the money saved on some high performance tires, which lead me to the nxt question. Any suggestions on tires, right now I'm looking at PS2 or Pirelli Nero both running about $1500 for set. My boxster (non-s) is for wkend driving on nice sharp hilly roads. I'm not about to drag race the car but my friends and I drive pretty aggressively on the empty back roads of Arkansas. Thnk you ahead for those who contribute. Also rims are made by ADR and weigh in at 23.2 lbs each. My 987 boxster MY'07 non S

Depends on your goals. 20" wheels are big and heavy, usually bend easily, and will make your car noticeably slower. Tires are hard to find and generally outrageous prices.

*Performance drivers (track hounds) are all on 17s &18s. (lightest and fastest)

*Cars and Coffee guys are on 18s and 19s. (compromise between performance and style)

*Shiny wheel guys are on 20-22" (maximum bling, minimum performance)

Ultimately you should get what YOU want and not what someone else thinks you want/need. Which Porsche driver do you want to be?
