What are they called or known as on the black and blue car? Was there a price difference? Personal preference I think I prefer the ones on the blue, what are others consensus?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Don't know prices or names, but with you re the wheels on the blue car. Better IMO.
POST 3Original post
think the top ones were an optional extra and were the carrera S 20 inch wheels, no idea what the original cost was though
POST 4Original post
The top ones on the black car are Carrera Classic 20" wheels, the bottom ones are Carrera S 20" wheels, both optional. A little more detail here from a quick google... https://www.australiancar.reviews/_pdfs/Porsche_Ca...

BTW. In AU, the S wheels on the blue car were $5,420.00 extra when new and the other Classics were a mere $7,500.00.
POST 6Original post
In the UK, the top alloys are the Carrera Classics and were a £2154 option in 2020. They're now a £4192 if bought from Porsche as an accessory. The ones in the bottom picture are the standard Cayman S and are Carrera S sport wheels but are a £3770 as an accessory.

I had the Carrera S on my 981CS. I prefer these, but be aware that the inner faces of the spokes can and do get stone chipped very easily.

I was ambivalent between them; When I was looking, however, the ones with the S wheels all showed a lot more ‘patina’ of stones etc than the Classics. I think they both look great in person.

The top ones are also diamond cut and these wheels do carry a premium when speccing the car

Is it just because they look shinier? Yes. They look good in showrooms and manufacturers are like sheep when it comes to this sort of thing. They think they will be left behind if they don't put them on cars.

Interesting point about the Carrera S wheels, I have them on my 981 Boxster and they are still in pristine condition since being refurbed by Lepsons in February despite Oxfordshire’s terrible roads. Hopefully they stay that way! The Carrera Classic wheels are lovely but I do prefer the S design and think they really suit the car.
