You many carwash snobs will be proud of me--had my 2010 S model handwashed at my house yesterday morn.; the fellow did a FINE job for $100, and I didn't have to do more than walk out and 'supervise' occasionally...and hand him a $100 bill.. Then, over several periods of maybe 20 minutes each*, I got another 'coat' of Torque Detail Turbo Waterless Ceramic Detailer on it.. This is a VERY-easy-on-and-off ceramic-protectant product.. https://www.torquedetail.com/
The wheels look their best since I removed, scrubbed, and polished them.. The pads that came with this aftermarket Brembo kit (from Tirerack) get the wheels quite dirty.
If I had not already ordered its replacement, a '23 Cayman GTS 4L...
...I'd be ordering Porterfield R4-S pads for the fronts.. I'm also strongly considering keeping the 2010's 19" wheels--which I LOVE the looks of--and tires for the GTS.. The teeny, weeny brakes P puts on these also will look a little less tiny under 19s.
* It's hotter than the proverbial hubs of hell in Phoenix, with its SIX months of summer, so I do this and other outside work in short bursts.

My sizes are 255/35-19 and 295/35/19.. Those ought to do it.

I was at Zone 1 PCA autocross last weekend in Massachusetts, two days of fun in my Cayman. The following photo is NOT my car, this is a 2022 Cayman GT4 that belongs to Rachel Baker, she took fastest time of the day on Sunday! This is Frozen Berry!

@andy7777 they're Work Brombacher 19x9, 19x11 ...the face design is similar to BBS E88, but with some slight hints of BBS LM. I'm a big fan of all three! Running LM on my 986 S.
If you don't mind me asking, what are your final offsets and tire sizes? I just put some 15mm spacers on the back of my cayman with e88, with a 275/35, its a bit too much....debating going back to a 265 on the next tire set

For tires, I've done the stretched tire thing and like a little more meat these days. 305/30 rear, 245/35 front. Stock Cayman R shocks/springs.

LOL thanks but I'm sure that PMS is saving my rear, I'm not really that good!
@MattG911 Love the color! What is it? looks a lot like Ravenna Green that I painted my 914

Nice! The color is called Peridot Metallic. It was linked to the launch of the 2012 Cayman R. A handful of Cayman S were able to be ordered back then when Porsche allowed the color for a couple of months in the build configurator. Mine is also a 6-speed, only 1 of 2 in this color that I have been able to track down so far. The other two I found are PDK. At this time I only know of 4 Cayman S in this color, including mine.
The % of the cars registered by color are as follows; Peridot Metallic 32 cars 23.4%, Carrera White 30 cars 22.7%, Black 29 cars 21.9%, Platinum Silver 13 cars 9.8%, Aqua Blue Metallic 10 cars 7.5%, Guards Red 9 cars 6.8%, Meteor Gray Metallic 5 cars 3.7%, Speed Yellow 2 cars 1.5%, Vesuvio (special order) 1%, 1 car 1% in Ruby Red Metallic,
