Shopping for new 18" wheels - Asking for advice

I have another question for the forum...I have a '97 Boxster and am shopping for some new 18" wheels. I plan on keeping the stock height of the car, and using the stock sized tires for the factory optional 18" wheels on the newer Boxster S's. I noticed some wheels need spacers for proper offset. Does this mean new lugs as well? Is it better to get the proper offset to begin with, or are spacers acceptable? (this is for street use, don't plan on track time yet) Can I expect a slightly rougher ride with heavier wheels and tires with less sidewall?
The wheel style I'm looking at so far is like this in either silver paint or black:

Thanks for the help!
