seems to be more negative than positive on getting magnesium rims.

$166k spec:
Magnesium wheels are an option but require the Weissach package selection.
In round numbers:
WP $13k + Mag Wheels $16k = $29k

Pretty sure the modern Mag wheels use a much more resilient magnesium alloy than older versions.

They have been improving them a ton over the years.

Have a friend who drives his 72 Pantera with very visible crack through a spoke 😮

New ones don’t do this and are said to last longer than Aluminum alloy wheels now…

Since the optional colored decals don't work on the US configurator I copied them from the German one.

Note:
WP not required to get decal on rear window in Germany configurator.

In looking at the Clubsport version of the 4RS, I now see why the series car has that indentation behind the rear wheel. Although the front fender looks the same for both race and street cars, if you look closely you will see that on the race car front foot print is wider and therefore the indentation much more pronounced.

It must be possible to remove or open them without the use of tools. A waiver by the SRO Technical

3.1.2) All bodywork joints in the vicinity of the refueling connections must be designed in such a way as
to prevent any leakage of fuel into the engine compartment and/or cockpit during refueling.

Congrats, what region are you in? I was under the impression that allocations (North America) may not be received until Q1.

In Germany allocations are given to customers, even for 2023 which is surprising to me (I have one for Spring 2023).

Given to you personally without dealership involvement or to the dealer at which you have a spot?
