I was referring to Suncoast. Of course wheels are available from the parts department. However, do they request proof of ownership 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 or 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 “cookie cutter” wheels swapped for Fuchs wheels aftermarket is less valued than having them ordered from new.
Not looking to boost resale value. Rather I know I'm going to want two sets of wheels.
15k factory build = 1 set.
15k factory build + 7k parts bin = 2 sets.
0k factory build +15k parts bin = 2 sets
Just seems odd to me. Yes, possible supply issues could be holdup
At Car and Drivers Lightening Lap at VIR the GT4RS finished in 2nd place this year behind the C8 ZO6 Corvette. It finishes in 8th place in the all time fastest cars since they have been doing the Lightening Lap.The GT4RS was faster than the 992 GT3 tested last year and also faster than the 991.2 GT3RS tested earlier. (Skip to timestamp 25:00 if you just want to see the GT4RS.)
My Dealer is saying March....and he's hoping I'll finally get mine in this batch.
Allocations for GT4RS?
Dealers get RS allocations at a different time than "regular" allocations.
The RS cars have all been allocated for 2023. Some have MY2024 allocations that will show up available later in the year.

992 GT3 was on Cup2 R tires. They don't say what the 4RS was on that day but I would suspect standard Cup2s.
Shmee 150 drove his second GT4RS this time on the track (first video was on UK roads).
He says he thinks it is the best Porsche ever made.
Also said he would not be surprised to see a possibly slightly detuned version of the 4 liter GT3 engine in a 718 near the end of the 718 production run, with a manual transmission. Some thing like a Cayman R?

That's exactly what I was told. 2023 is fully allocated. That means the allocations that come out for 24, likely a few batches at a time, will be the THE END. Basically, you'll be able to buy this car until sometime late this year and then the door will close. That's my thinking.
Just telling you what he told me, and he's got no reason to lie to me.
Sales advisors can be misinformed. Plus, they often like to instill hope and optimism to people that want to spend money.
Beyond that, Porsche did things differently with GT car allocations this model year as i understand.
But more importantly, your info is contrary to a recent statement by a well known dealer principal here on Rennlist.
Trust me, i hope your advisor is right.... and there are more GT car allocations coming.
I have a second allocation coming.....but don't expect to see that one until early 2024.
