Leather - mostly because I find Porsche's pricing for wheel upgrades very high. $2.4k just to upgrade from 19s to the cheapest 20s, where both aren't even forged? For reference it's only $1k to upgrade a BMW 540i wheel from 19 to 20s. For $2.4k you can buy a set of custom flow-forged wheels that are probably lighter than the (most likely cast) factory 20s. The $4.7k for 21s starts to get into budget full-forged wheel prices (BC forged, etc.) Granted you'd have to buy tires, but if you sell the 19s as winter wheels to someone it'll be just about that price point of the OEM option
$4.7k to upgrade from basic interior to full leather is pricey, but more in-line with other manufacturers. For a 540i, upgrading from sensatec to leather is $2.5k, plus you'd need to spring for a leather dash option which isn't even possible in a 540i, but is a $1k option in an M550i. Given the amount of leather that seems to be included with a Taycan, I find it easier to stomach in theory
FWIW, I actually have neither on my CT4 build in order to stick to a budget of $105k. I'm planning to do aftermarket wheels on mine once I get it. If my budget increases by the time my spot on the waitlist arrives, full leather would be the first item I'd get since you can't retrofit it
