17" vs 18" Wheels/Tires
As I'm looking into possibly getting 18" wheels for my new (to me) Boxster, I'm beginning to wonder if this is all worth it. Besides cosmetic appearance, how much of a performance/handling difference would I see? A little? A lot? I realize that it's somewhat subjective, but would it really be a big noticeable difference? I'd welcome your thoughts and impressions.
I've heard turn-in is noticeably better, but once you're in the turn, not much of a difference. Then there's also the issue of 18" (or 19" for that matter) wheels/tires being more susceptible to damage from potholes than would a smaller diameter wheel.
