Looking at Cayman S

[AJB88]

Stolen this photo from the Video Porsche sent me! annoyingly its still at the Porsche dealer than it was traded into, not at Silverstone. Was hoping to have it next week but it looks unlikely now!

What are they called? I want the multispokes that you see very often but I think they look spot on, not sure what they are called.

They look like the 20in Carrera S alloys to me

[AJB88]

Yep exactly what I want haha

I have them on my 981, and they do look very good. However, they are well known to chip very easily from stones, as mine have now. Mine are covered in hundreds of tiny chips, and one large one. I like the 5 spoke ones a lot, and they would be my preference. Even easier to clean too. The rears are also 1/2" wider so probably fill the arches a bit better.

My 2cents: consider getting a 981 Boxster S instead of a Cayman. I also started my search on a Cayman until I realise you get a lot more for your money on Boxsters as they took a larger hit on depreciation before Caymans do, and then stabilise. The main difference is the rigidity of the chassis, which I (ok, I’m no PRO) could not tell. The other added benefit, is to put the roof down, specially in weather like this !

I did the same, went to test drive a PDK PASM Cayman GTS, Did a back to back test with a Manual X73 Boxster GTS, brought the Boxster there and then.

Bought a Cayman already hoping it arrives this week, never been into soft tops so Boxster was never an option.

Enjoy, no wrong / right choice. Cayman is an awesome car.

You have bought a very pretty example, and keep those wheels, they are amazing.

Need to see them in the flesh before I decide.

Swap with Si, and then get them done in Platinum Silver. I prefer the multi spokes, Carrera i think they are called, or the Carrera Classics which I have.

[AJB88]

Was thinking more of a gun metal grey
