There was a miata in the early 90s that came with a 15"x6" mesh style wheel that weighed 8.5#. Those are usually in high demand since they look good, are a decent size and are very lightweight.

However I would think Porsche would resist the trend, historically they have been more form follows function.

Yep, my first miata came with 14". The tire choices for those style wheels were pretty limited. I also upgraded to 15" wheels. My second miata came with 17" wheels. I also upgraded that one to 15" wheels.
