There are different offsets required for 996/986 cars vs 997/ 987 cars, both front and rear. Insofar as I have looked, 997 wheels do not fit on 986 cars without using spacers, especially in the rear. The Boxster needs a rear offset which is between 911 narrow body and wide body.
Most 996 fitments you see for a 10" wide wheel are ET65, 911 Turbo wheels don't fit as they are 11" wide and ET45. What you want for a 10" rear is about ET45, with an 8" wide front around ET50.
There are multiple companies making factory knock offs, but they are certainly going to be heavier than factory wheels, as well as likely not as strong. Add in resale, and I would tend to be inclined to work with factory wheels in the appropriate size to avoid spacers.
