Trust me, you don't want to put on 19*10.5" wheels made out of cast metal on a little boxster. They are extremely heavy... spoked or not. You'll see your gas consumption bill almost doubling not to mention the lack of power (ask me how I know). Had those heavy wheels once - and glad they are gone now.

If you ask me, the 9.5 is what you want, I wouldn't go wider than that for a cast wheel. In the 19" sizes anyway. Might be different for the 18" dunno
