No worries mate. It's just that he has changed the tires at least 3 times and the only time it ran smooth is with different wheels. That's good enough for me. Whether the wheel was damaged during mounting or by divine intervention, I believe it's the wheels. It's too easy to grab a set of wheels and tires from Craigslist or Ebay local to him to wait any longer. Trying three different tires (as stated above) is not the same as two full sets of completely different brands and models - AND still having the same problem (but it's close).

I would narrow it even further. I would change out the front tires with a different set of wheels and see what happens. Then change out the rear tires/wheels and also see. This way you not only narrow it down to wheels, but also whether it's the front or rear. Stick with it, you're almost there. Your local Porsche racing club will have guys with many sets of wheels and tires. Someone will let you play with their stuff... for a pizza and beer for certain.
