The non-S here has 18" Cayman wheels on it, black accented but the top surface of each of the spoke is silver, black mirrors and of course the Boxster logo is black.
My wife saw one of these while we were shopping for a gray S, & fell in love with it. I protested mildly because it wasn't an S and I had said that was the only way I could stand trading in our modified C5 (or so I thought). I slept on it overnight (really bummed about not having the S bits), but thought, "Happy wife, happy life" and we went and got it the next day.
We like the "retro" look of the silver accented wheels on the base model better than the blackies on the S.
It puts a smile on everyone's face that we've shared it with so far! And that's worth a lot (especially my wife's).
As far as moving them, the dealer sold the first 3 in a matter of weeks, with the first S being snatched up by an employee.
And ours being a non-S, I get to start "improving" it. ;-)

Nice touch. I thought the stainless steel OEM tips were tarnished, and even polished them a bit, then realized they reflect the orange body, making them look a bit yellowish.
Re the PSE, I was afraid the cutout was going to be disabled at lower speeds like I read about in a hack thread, but was pleased that it operates at all speeds when Sportchrono button is on.
Nice plate too!
