Spotted what I believe is the 1st 4RS at COTA. Will be very interesting to see how it runs.
Nice, first one I have seen out there I will have to drool over it tomorrow. Are you guys running this morning? Fog looks crazy at COTA on the web cam, can't even see the tower!
4/21 lock date and still shows PCCB's... order went V200 on November 25th and on the 26th PCCB stop sale went into affect.
Glad you got em too.
Similarly, my freeze is March 8. My specs/build was entered promptly and went V200 in mid Nov (2023).
I also stopped messing with my build late Nov., cause every time i made a minor build change, the delivery date was extended a week at a time (3 total).
The way i see it, dealers that putz around or waste time shopping for the largest ADM prevents customers from submitting or finalizing builds early in the process.
So when all these stop sales for certain options hit, the eventual customer suffers.
Contributing, was the fact that Porsche issued 'most' if not all MY 23 car allocations in November 2022 which likely created a bow wave of orders.
Your previous suncoast references was a "set" price and now you are listing individual replacement prices. Not the same.
2 Front wheels, 2 Rear wheels, is a set.
point was it appears you can order the mags from a shop, for same price as ordering new. But then you also get to keep the factory Forged wheels. That English places looks pretty good too with the cheap tires!

Correct, but ordering each wheel individually (to make a set) is different than ordering a set from the git-go. Prices change drastically.

I saw those tire prices, but I couldn't see a way to order just tires, did you?
Anyone knows what the mag wheels weigh?
Trying to decide for my build as $15k is no small change.
So far it seems PCCBs are no-go but I hope that window will open up by the time my build freezes.
I have not seen the weight of the mag wheels reported yet.
However Porsche has said that the set of 4 mag wheels saves 10 kg over the aluminum wheels or 22.05 lb.
So we can do an estimate for how much the mag wheels weigh assuming the ratio of the weight is the same from F to R in both aluminum and mag.
Based on the photos above indicating the weight of the aluminum wheels:
F 20.45 lb x 2 = 40.92 lb 40.92 / 88.32 = 46.23 %
R 23.70 x 2 = 47.40 47.40 / 88.32 = 53.67 %
Total = 88.32 lb aluminum set of 4 wheels
Minus 22.05 = 66.27 lb mag set of 4 wheels
F calculation 0.4623 x 66.27 = 30.64 / 2 = 15.32 lb per front mag wheel
R calculation 0.5367 x 66.27 = 35.57 / 2 = 17.78 lb per rear mag wheel
I was referring to Suncoast. Of course wheels are listed on the online parts department of a dealership. However, do they request proof of ownership and VIN verification to sell a Weissach-only option? And with the stop-sale on mags from the factory, I wonder how many mag wheels are even available to order from sites like the one you found. Sure, the part number is listed and there’s a price shown, but that doesn’t mean the wheels exist nor that you can order them and have them shipped to you. Parts shortages are real.
Also, if it matters to you (and to some purists it does), fitting mags to a GT4RS that didn’t have them from the factory is not the same as ordering them with the car. It won’t show up on any certificate of authenticity, nor will it be on the Monroney.
It’s the same in the aircooled world. Having the base steel or “cookie cutter” wheels on a long-hood swapped for Fuchs wheels aftermarket is less valued than having them ordered from new.
