Question Boxster S wheels and suspension

I am ordering a Boxster S.. but am in dubio

Should I stick to the standard 17" wheels and order a sports suspension
or
Should I stick to the orig. suspension and order the 18" Turbo wheels

Or should I just order them both ??
which option gives the better handling ?

I have the 18" wheels.
I am very surprised and impressed at the gentle ride they give around town. We have a lot of potholes to contend with and the 18" wheels just soak it up, firm but compliant- not harsh at all. On the twisties it is pure heaven. The 17" should give an even smoother ride but the 18" wheels improve handling.
