They both look good, there are two boxsters on this board with those wheels. Though, I dont like 19's on the 986. They just look oversized. I bought the Tire Rack sport edition cup wheels and they look great.

We need some better pics of the side of your car. I can't really decide . . .

Yes they would look absolutely fantastic on a Silver car.
I got these off ebay for $1200.

do the Boxster SPyder wheels (aka GT2) require spacers for 986 fit in the rear? I assume these are 10"

+1 on this question -listed as the gt2 rs on ebay "for Boxsters- 986" but when I asked the seller - they say may be the wrong offset. Is a 60 offset on a 19x10 not going to work on a 986 for the rear? Can anyone else chime in?

+60 is way too high of an offset for a 986 boxster. At a minimum you''ll need to run a 15mm spacer.

Is anyone else running the eBay gt2 19 inch set up - member more was unable to provide his specs? I really like these wheels but not going to buy unless I get some more input from someone that has a set.

from those two options I prefer the top wheels, BUT
to be honoust I upgraded my new old boxster recently with carrera s wheels, 18 inch because of the comfort, I just love them!
mostly heared comments...very classic but still timeless!
success with your personal choice!
