Also can't wait to see how the interior will work out in real.
Only wish Pete @stout had convinced Porsche to make white-gold wheels available for these cars
Slate with the bright silver is going to be stunning, Peter, but even if CXX can't be managed for white-gold wheels (which I also love), there's always the parts counter and/or someone who knows how to refinish a set of wheels properly. Next question is whether the factory did center caps for those wheels in white-gold?
I've occasionally had cars with two wheel sets, as I had a tough time deciding what style or color I preferred. Once I did, one set was usually sold unless there was a high value in keeping the original wheels—but I also remember meeting a young guy with a really tastefully modified Del Sol Si back in the day who had one pair of wheels on one side and a different pair on the other, both from the same wheel manufacturer. When I asked what the deal was, he mentioned he couldn't decide what looked better—and then realized he'd never see both sides of the car at the same time. So he chose both.

Brilliant solution
Indeed I don't even know whether it actually would be a good match, I have not seen white-gold wheels on a slate grey car yet - have even never seen white-gold wheels in real. Just something that came up when playing around with photoshop. What I do know is that the silver wheels will indeed look stunning on the car - I have a couple of pictures of a slate grey 718 Spyder with the silver wheels (and the Classic interior) on my desktop
This is not my car, but something I saw on IG. I'm glad to see someone actually ordered and has taken delivery of a 000 Spyder! The car, especially the interior, is gorgeous.
"$177,175. Notably, $35,695 in Sonderwunsch factory commissioning (special wishes - CXX) of the leather interior in Ascot Brown and (000) plaque on the door sills."
ka-ching, not what I would spend $35k on ... but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Meh... You can achieve a much better and nicer interior going aftermarket with someone like @Exclusive Option for that extra price. This would include not the seats and partial door panels but absolutely everything (including firewall, hoops, steering wheels and any plastic piece you can imagine).
Absolutely not worth it for that price in my opinion given the existing alternatives, but of course it looks nice.
…me neither….and I’m the guy who ordered it….but WTF, this thing is gorgeous and it will hold me over until the Spyder RS comes my way in about 18 months….

Nice to see first pics of customer cars filtering out—thank you!

Congrats, and glad you dig it! Hope you'll add many sunny miles to that Spyder, and hope to see it before it's gone.
To that end, if you're ever near the Golden Gate or Sonoma Raceway, lunch or a beverage of your choice is on me—and perhaps your new Spyder can meet one of the Porsches that led to its existence. Which is an offer extended to anyone who buys one of these cars.
@stout i plan to take you up on it. I will likely be up at Laguna Seca in June this year for the Hypercar Invitational, and would love to meet. posted some pictures here.
