Is it possible to order the GTS style - all dark - RS spyder wheels on other models?

Not via standard ordering process but could be possible via Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. There you can order your wheels in nearly any color you like. You should ask your dealer what would be the extra costs.

Speak nicely to your dealer and I'm sure you can source separately - they are available on other Porsche models in satin black.

This is quite a big deal IMO.
I really like those wheels on the GTS but leaving the edges of the spokes shiny totally ruins them to my eye so they would be my choice on a GTS but not any of the others, mind you I don't like any of the black wheels with shiny machined outer edges and never have, though maybe my taste is rare (I suspect so), since that is what Porsche mainly offer.

Personal taste as always but the black / silver actually works and looks great on the right wheel rim selection IMHO.

Used to be all silver was the norm but appear to have been largely phased out.

I'd happily take the two tone RS Spyder wheels on my GTS if I could specify Chrome window surrounds but have to
"live" with satin black rims it seems.

Therein lies the difference!
IMO I am yet to see a black and silver wheel I actually like the styling of, never mind thinking any look great!

I was in this dilemma and in the end decided to go with the GTS over the 4S.

I saw the satin black RS Spyder's in person on Monday, having test driven this beauty:
https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/details/porsche-taycan-gts-preowned-1X67ZG

They look absolutely stunning and in my opinion are joint best Taycan alloys with the CT exclusive 21s.

Granted you could get the 4S RS Spyder's painted satin black at your nearest detailer, but then it wouldn't be "exclusive". I am not sure Porsche would allow the GTS alloys being fitted to a 4S as it then devalues all models in the range, which are designed to have "exclusive" components and options.

Their pricing model is genius for a reason.

So your options are:
1. Buy a GTS, with your satin black RS S., but expect a long wait.
2. Buy a 4S, with your silver RS S., then get them sprayed satin black aftermarket, and have your car delivered 6-8 months sooner.

Doubt it would devalue - not many (if any) would paint their wheels post purchase.

It's funny but I normally prefer all-black wheels to any with silver metal highlights, but in this case I actually prefer the silver/black to the all black.
