I have always found it curious that people select wheels based on ease of cleaning. If you're that pressed, have them coated, and have a detailer come round once a week. I haven't cleaned my own wheels in some years and don't plan to start. Especially as I age, I have no desire to be hunched over fussing with the wheels, or lower part of body panels, etc.
Depending upon where you are, a good mobile detailer will do deep clean for ~300 and then maintenance cleans for under 100. In smaller, less populous cities, I imagine it would be substantially less. I'm in the DC metro area.
That said, I am not at all obsessed with my cars being spotless at all times. I even enjoy them being a bit dirty. And then when I do get them cleaned, I appreciate it more. I suppose I'm lucky to not care as much.
I definitely obsessed over my selections well into delivery and then even some afterwards (of my 991.2). But get behind the wheel, and all such concerns fade away.
BTW - I prefer the Carrera S wheels on these cars over the alternatives. I wish they offered the GT3RS wheels as an option - those are 20/21 also. Those are by far my top choice.
Cheers! Enjoy your cars in good health.
