Like you hf1, I’m struggling w colors on my SRS, mostly because it looks so good in all the colors. I go between bland/classic to bold/skittle’s depending on my mood. I can’t do gold wheels though- I had a POS green Cherokee w gold wheels during my residency years and I still cringe when I see them on any car😂. Keep posting your thoughts, I like how you think and I’m easily swayed.

So, has the SRS fallen off the Porsche marketing wagon, or what? All I am seeing are 911s, 911s, and more 911s. Is this backlash for even daring to highlight a mere boxster as an event of note in the Porsche galaxy? lol

Anyone else seeing anything on the SRS? Am I looking in the wrong places?

FWIW, I think GR may look better on a 4RS than a SRS.

I am surprised that you dare utter the words... quick run for cover before you are struck by lightning!

I have seen nothing new, but did I hear that there will be one at RR7?

Since we are discussing wheel colors, is there anyone else interested in Satin Aluminium like me?

I want to know the difference between it and silver. I have seen comparison pictures, but they are all on the GT3 model, so the wheels are different from those on the GT4RS or SRS.

Does anyone have real-life pictures of the GT4RS with standard wheels painted in Satin Aluminium? I would greatly appreciate it!

Yes, I had Satin Aluminium in my previous 991.2 GT3, and a friend has the regular silver, for me, satin aluminum was perfect:

Thanks, I did see those Satin Alu wheels on the GT3, but I am still waiting for someone to post real-life pictures of the GT4RS with standard wheels painted in Satin Aluminium.
The gt4rs standard wheels below are silver in color

Don’t know if anyone has commented on this, but you can now get the extended deviated stitching and black seat centers
