It might lose some rigidity but the Boxster platform is pretty darn rigid as we all know. Imagine a glass-top targa cayman or a retro-style targa, either would be quite nice looking.
I'm sure if we're discussing it Porsche has figured out a way to monetize it already.
That new Targa top design looks like they put some $$$ and money into developing it, surely they would want to get some more revenue from it by applying to it a 981.

Steve Tinker, I agree. The How Wheels look of the 20" wheels looks comical.
And you can add those giant Fuchs wheels to things that do not work on a grand touring Carrera along with duck and whale tails. The lines are all wrong on the 991 and 997. And Porsche was charging quiet a nickel for those special edition "retro" 997's. Those cars have flattened angles and not short, bulbous lines like the 911, 964, 993 etc. Actually come to think of it unless a 964 or 993 is back-dated Fuchs look weird on those cars as well. Some things only belong on a 911.
