Agree BanZ. There are only two different wheel designs for 20” and two for 21” inch May be three if turbo and RS spyders are “different”.
The rest is just different colours - but no black!!
No there seems to be a conscious choice from Porsche all of a sudden to keep the black look for gts cars only - not sure why they didn’t start out that way if it was important…
Not a huge fan of black wheels so I've went with the platinum colour.
Black exhaust tips on the other hand, now you're talking.

I like a bit of contrast to accentuate the mortar pipes at the rear, so I would take black exhaust tips with body-colour rear diffuser, or silver tips with black rear diffuser.

If OP is redeeming deposit entirely due to lack of wheel choice? guess his heart isn’t actually set on owning a Macan. Good luck with whatever you decide but if it’s a high quality sport performance and handling SUV that’s desired. Well there really is nothing to compare.
How do you work that one out?? When I’m paying nearly 70k of my hard earned on a Macan I want it to be exactly what I want, not nearly what I want. A Macan is my first choice,however I’m not buying a Porsche because it’s a Porsche, I’m buying because I like them and I want it to look right,this is not negotiable just because it’s a Macan. If I can’t get a Macan to look how I want it to look then I wouldn’t buy one,would you? Whatever car I buy, I need to like the look of it, what’s wrong with that?
As I said, “good luck with whatever you decide”

Somebody has pointed out that the wheel issue can be solved a different way - I wouldn’t pull out just over wheels
My 928 doesn’t have the wheels I want and if I used it more I would just buy the ones I want and either sell what it has or hold on and sell the new ones come the day I move it on
Wheels are the easiest thing to sort

Totally agree and actually getting wheels painted either in full, or in part isn’t that expensive in the scheme of things…

Tbf when you are buying a 60k-70k car most costs aren’t really particularly expensive relatively speaking
Agreed hence there are some small options I regret not specking but you sort of think there has to be a limit when you are specking it up then after the event you think it was stupid to ignore

Pretty much the process I’ve gone through. For future note never do your final spec with the other half in the room.

Agreed except perhaps for PSE which is £1,700 for a slightly different noise!

Or changing standard S wheels from dark titanium to grey for £1700?
