They are slightly different looking, hard to notice at first. the D90s have a little lip on them that the club sports don't have. But the Club sports are forged as opposed to cast and therefor lighter and stronger.

D90s were original equipment for the S2 in the US. They are 7 and 8 x 16 for the 944. (964 based 911s used 6 and 8" sizes for instance). The spokes on the Clubsports are flush with the rim.. the D90s spokes are offset slightly, creating a small lip.

I have the stock D90's on my s2 for the street...and 968 8" wheels all around for the track.
I did not go to the link but the CS wheels are significantly lighter than the D90's as I understand it.
Wheel Enhancement's website is a good resource for OEM wheel styles

There's actually only about .3 kg difference between same-width D90s and Club Sports. Cosmetically, I personally find the D90s to be more appealing, particularly the deeper lip on a staggered 7" / 8" setup. Supposedly the forged wheels are stronger, and I suppose the extra .3 kg x 4 of unsprung weight would be worthwhile on the track.
