Anyone have 19" rims?

I can across some rims for my Boxster that I think look pretty tight. But I have never had a car with 19" wheels before.

2 questions:

1) Durability. This car will not be on the track, but here are times when I am going 85+ over rough pavement on I-5. Are they safe? I realize that largely depends on the manufacture, but are 19s of any type going to be prone to damage?

2) Handling. 35 series tires......yikes. Are those going to have a very sharp edge? I gotta imagine they stick like glue, but when they let go, they let go fast. Any advice most welcome.

Any advice on aftermarket rims in general?

I have an artic silver boxster, so the photo below is pretty much what they would look like.
