As a former owner of a 987 base with the OEM 17s, I highly recommend keeping the 18s with your order. Not only are the 17s some of the most aesthetically challenged rims I've ever seen, they're a pain to keep clean, and the ride with the 18s is no worse and arguably better.
Upgrading to the OEM 18s after delivery is also much more expensive then buying them as original equipment. The 18s are very much in demand from other 17 buyers looking to upgrade. In case you were curious, the trade-in value of the 17s is @$100.00, which pretty much illustrates the collective opinion of them. The weights for the two size rims are as follows, and the rotating mass isn't nearly as much as the 19s would be:
Standard 987 17" wheels are 18 - 6 (18lbs 6 oz) on the front, 19 - 13 on the rear.
Standard 987 18" S wheels are 21 - 11 and 22 - 14.
