I have the same wheels and absolutely love them, it took me a year to find a nice used set so consider yourself lucky that they came with the car! I bought a little brush from Walmart that fits perfectly between the openings and I use Griots wheel cleaner. Spray it on, let it sit a few minutes then follow up with the brush and a soft car wash sponge. I get mine done rather quickly and the wheels make it all worth it every time I stare at them

But with no passenger there's no one or nothing to hold the cup except me.  I have simply adapted with a better coffee tumbler :dance:

Get a pair of these cup holders
BMW Cup Holders, Porsche Cup Holders, Ultimate Cup Holder - Cupholders / Drink Holders for BMW 3 5 7 Series, Boxster 911 Z4 Mercedes Audi NSX other fine cars. They are a little expensive but well worth it! I just got back from Starbucks
Your wife is probably thinking mid life you know what. She thinks you are going to run off with some 20 year old with your gold chains etc

Take the advice of joining PCA and go to some events. There are usually happy hour events, lunch and of course driving events. She will soon see that Porsche people are just normal people who have a strong love of their cars. She will meet some great people including women who also love their cars. My wife was not happy at first either, now she says "let's go for a drive!" She loves the sound of the exhaust when ever we go through a tunnel, as do I
Good luck and welcome to the forum! There is a lot of excellent information and advice here and the people are great!
