One of the things that I'm surprised the GT4/Spyder don't come with are forged wheels. The wheels that come with, look fantastic but they would even be better if they were forged. Considering how much larger they are over the regular 718 variants and how much larger the steel brakes are, offering forged wheels would have been a nice way to offset the increased unsprung weight.
Do you plan on swapping out your wheels for forged wheels and if so, which one?

If you want everything to be higher spec, then trade your car in for a 991.2 GT3 & forged wheels & motorsport engine come with the higher $$ package.
There's some incredible aftermarket wheel manufacturers & the choices are endless.
If you want low unsprung weight, a nice option is the Forgeline carbon dish wheels. The quality is excellent & they're light as feathers!

This is the way to go, got the 2 wheel setup on my GTS but they are OZ 19's and cast for track, they work great but Tire Rack has a forged option for the GT4 spec for only a few bucks more. Anyone had experience of these? https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/bran...NE+Competition

Also better than volk? Come on man. Based on comments like this, I don’t believe you’ve ever had a Volk or Rays wheel or know much about it. Otherwise you wouldn’t say it like you did.

Many many years ago I used to drive a black G35 coupe with bronze TE37's. Would like to get another pair for my incoming GT4, but not anytime soon. Maybe when I need to replace the tires I'll use the OEM rims for winters and get some TE37's for summers.

Depending on the color of your GT4, bronze would look great! I think they do polished lips now too so you can get matte face and polished lip. I've always found that combo incredible. It's just different enough yet still subtle.

I have a set of 19" Forgelines for my GT3. They are awesome.
I had looked into OZ at one point, but I found a thread in the 991 GT3 forum about barrel flexing. YMMV.

Volk makes a superb forged wheel and has an impeccable reputation and machining process- had a set of TE-37’s for an E90 M3 and they are every bit the equal of BBS, HRE, Forgeline, etc. For unclear reasons, their Porsche options are limited and difficult to source. I would love a set of TE-37’s for the GT3-

My incoming 718 GT4 is Gentian Blue, so I think that would work well with bronze. The Aurum (gold) rims from Porsche are too bright for my tastes, need a deeper darker bronze.
