I'd go with the 18's. Tires are cheaper, wheels are lighter.
New body Boxster/Cayman was designed to ride on 18's like ours were designed to ride on 17's. They are set up for bigger diameter...so the sidewall on a 19" wheel on new car is same as sidewall on our 18" wheels. If we move up to a 19" we have a thinner sidewall than a new body cayman/boxster with the same size wheel.
