Car will have more grip, brake better, and be faster on track.
Honestly, the non-mag did not look good to me at all. The white gold mag wheels remind me the white gold wheels on my 997 GT3RS.

Really perplexing that the CF hood which is painted without WP and exactly the same hood as WP requires a "special wish" to be painted for WP. This should be a no cost option from Porsche...

Nice pick up of a great looking car. How much was the CXX charge to paint the entire hood? I know painting the stripes in a PTS color was around $12k.

$8765 on the build sheet with matching painted key. I see this option is listed for free in spider builds . So maybe free 2025? If they build them .

My point is Cayman budgets are smaller than 911 budgets and I get that....this is why Mag wheel cars are going to be the minority and the unicorns 30 years from now. I'd like to see the take on Mag wheels. Just guessing it's 20% ish.

In the end, any 4RS is a good 4RS not matter how you spec it.
I would agree with that idea 10 years ago however now it seems like everyone just has huge builds now. Stripper builds use to be more normal but now seem to be a rarity.

I want a stripper. Better yet, I want a striped stripper. Can't work a good deal on them either!

The only way I would buy a 4RS is a Stripper build msrp under $170K with no ADM. Since that's not happening I will just drive my lowly GT4.

No magnesium wheels for me. Too expensive, too easily damaged (my 4RS will be tracked), and the regular wheels look better to my eyes.

Start watching at about 8:30 in and it confirms that's a great call




Magnesium shavings....

Kind of disturbing to see the car spin that easily. On the brakes and then tiny steering input, and around it went.

There was discussion on the spin previously, I dont recall it all, but I think cold tires were to blame.



But yeah, mag wheels didn't stand a chance

I never had a car become unstable like that just because of cold tires.

I only posted that video because of the magnesium wheels getting hosed. Not to debate GT4rs track characteristics.

Morale of the story is don't go off at the track, especially if it has gravel runoffs.
