I was looking at 06's myself and I found this 08 CS for sale (private sale) for the same price. Only 22k miles, still under original Porsche bumper to bumper warranty

I think they are called Boxster II wheels, they are 18 inch.

18's are standard on the Cayman S, 19's optional. the base Cayman has 17's standard.

Most important for me was PASM and Sport Chrono, both are very rare options, especially PASM. Most of the review like Excellence Magazine state that if you run 19 inch wheels you should PASM.

Since I have PASM it would be very easy to just buy 19 inch wheels/tires, so its better to find a PASM with 18's than a non-PASM car with 19's. Easier to just buy wheels, can't retro fit PASM.

Great looking Cayman S. Bought mine on 12/6/2011 and absolutely love it. It has 19" Carrera S Wheels which I believe are also called Lobster Claws. Thought you might like to see what it looks like
