18" wheels

[alfa phil]

looking at boxster s for sale are the 18 inch wheels a good option to have ,apart from looking good do they give the car better perfomanced are other options like heated seats or better sound systems parking censors sports seats ect worth considering you dont get to many cars for sale that have the lot.. also any one out there in favour of the triptronic gear box on the S im only using it for a weekend car,
cheers

Tiptronic: rubbish unless you want to feel like you're driving a Merc estate.
18" wheels: get them
Sports seats: don't pay more for them
Heated seats: depends if you've got a cold arse
Parking sensors: if you can't park don't buy a Porsche
Sound system: get the best, and don't listen to muppets who say "the engine is the only soundtrack you need".

The engine's the only soundtrack you'll need.

The car is a much better drive on the 17" but vanity has always got the better of me and I've had 18". The car tramlines more and is very sensitive to tyre pressures and alignment.

If you have broad shoulders the sports seats may give you a problem, in saying that I'm a pretty big guy (ahem!) and I fit OK
