The 16 dramatically improved everything and in fact unless you are driving " in extremis" I doubt you will detect much difference in roadhandling.
I will keep the 18's for when I sell the car.

I think this all comes down to what you are going for in your Boxster. If you are going the best suspension then the 18 inch option is the way to go hands down. If handling isn't a concern for you then 16 inch wheels are the best for comfort. By the way 18 inch wheel look SUPER good on a Boxster and will give you a much more aggresive looking car.
