Default Wheel Choices for 2021 GTS

I've decided to go with Dolomite Silver, and would like 21"s on the car. I love the Spyder wheels but they're apparently very difficult to keep clean. So I'm looking at the silver 21" Sport Classics. They are painted in GT Silver. Would that conflict with the dolomite? My second choice would be the 20" Turbo wheels in gloss or metallic black. Anyone have a dolomite car with the 21" silver wheels? Happy with the choice? Pics?

I'm not sure why people complain about the extra 2 minutes per wheel it takes to clean an RS Spyder...we're not talking wire wheels here.

Have the Dolomite Silver with the staggered 20" gloss black wheels, in case you hadn't seen them:

Just got it. Dolomite with 20” Turbo wheels in body color. We didn’t know the barrels would be painted a dark gray. Looks great.
It has a winter set on right now that we also love.



20” turbo painted body color. We wanted 20” for a more forgiving ride

Winter set 19”

Barrels painted dark gray

Currently on winter set

20 Macan S in Dolomite with 21" Spyders - brake dust/keeping clean are indeed a thing but they do look great IMO. Wouldn't have minded 20" Spyders but was no longer available and didn't like any of the other 20" wheel options. The 20" Turbo wheels reminded of Mercedes/BMW wheels. Just my opinion.

GTS wasn't out yet when I placed my order for the S but if it had been would have gone with a GTS + 21" Sport Classics. Love that look as well.

Either way, enjoy your new Macan.

Spyders really aren’t that bad to deal with and they look great with silver. Grab some good spray cleaner and a extra mitt and you will be good to go.

Great looking. I'm still deciding on 20 v 21, but leaning toward staying with the 21" Spyders.

Thanks! That's the look I'm going for! They are beautiful wheels. Can't wait to get the GTS in Dolomite/Black full leather - should be early March.

It's a good look - I did the partial red interior as well - never in a million years did I ever think I'd go with red but once I saw it in person I was sold. Just make sure you visit, a dealer and see a few options in person (like seats, etc.) before locking in your build. Wish I had done another round before locking in.

I did see the red interior and it just was too bright for me. I went with Dolomite Silver/Black full leather, which is a safe combination, IMO. I also am sticking with the 21" RS Spyder wheels which really make the car stand out. Had GT Silver/full black leather on my '16 Boxster and loved it.

Black Sport Classics are my favorite Macan wheels. I like the 21" Spyders, too. Either would be great on a Silver GTS.
