Those wheels in your pic are Sport Classic IIs and you can get a factory set made specifically for Boxs with the proper offsets. Then you don't have to worry about the wild offset and big spacers in the rear using SC IIs from a Carrera.

Boxster SC IIs pop up for sale here and on other forums or you could check ebay (be sure to know the offset before making any bids - ads will say they fit a Box but only if you use spacers). The proper offsets for 18s on a Box are 7.5 / 50 front and 9 / 52 rear. I sold an average cond set for Boxsters last yr for $750 - with the depressed economy you may be able to find some for less. They look fantastic on a Box but they are a pain in the a$$ to keep clean.

Take your time and get the proper size.
