Track rims on a budget? For a 2.5L most top track hounds run stock OEM takeoffs ($400/full set) and 225/255 tires. It is plenty of rubber for track use and really keeps costs under control. See Boxster Spec Racing for more info.

If you drop in a 3.6L with 325hp you can make good use of more tire and a set of 8&9x17 will make 245/275 possible.

Tires are a tradeoff between lateral grip, rolling resistance, rotational weight, and aero resistance. Choose the best combo for the tracks you plan to run. A 30 sec AX course will benefit from extra wide tires while running on a super-speedway roval will benefit from less tire. I recommend choosing the tire you want to run first and then pick wheels that will fit instead of the other way around. Controlling your contact patch is the first priority.
