An 18" Carrera 5 spoke with 40 offset rear and the fronts pushed out with spacers may fit the bill. Readily available used on CL

Don't forget to put a big S on the trunk lid to complete the look

Porsche recommendation is no more than 18" diameter on the 986 and 996. Assuming you currently have 17", moving up to a 19" will likely have a noticeable impact on your handling and acceleration unless you spring for something nice and light. Find a nice OEM wheel, buy some spacers if you want a little more aggressive stance. Or find a quality lightweight 18" from a vendor like Tire Rack, I love OZ Alleggritas because they are strong and light.
