Great info l3M, my local Big-O has a Hunter 9700 road-force balancer.

I'll snap some rim before pics just in case they are ham handed with the Rim/Car.

I got 4 Hankook v12's for ~$485 delivered within 3 days from Discount Tire online.

2 - 255/40-17
2 - 215/50-17 upsized from the standard 205 width.

Replacing the old Pilot Sports.

Seems like the most bang for the buck right now and the tires should last reasonably long for a performance tire.

I think I can fit 2 tires in the passenger seat, one rear in the frunk and one front in the trunk of the Boxster. Other wise I'll have to drop them off at the shop with the Wrangler first and then come back with the Boxster.
