Brandon, what is the expected production time & delivery for those who sign up for the group buy? I know the group buy site is active for 30 days to start with. Just trying to decide between these wheels and others. Thx!

UPDATE: I just noticed the end of December ETA. Question answered!

We will also take the opportunity to add these new finish options to some of our popular existing 18" and 19" fitments in the coming months as well.

Pics or Photoshop on the SB Spyder above in Bronze, gold, and brushed? I currently have OEM platinum wheels on mine so would love something different but not sure if it will clash with the yellow PCCBs. Also, I may have asked this before but Porsche centercaps do not fit, correct?

No 19" Porsche Group Buys are currently in the pipeline, if that changes we will be sure to let everyone know.

What is the cutoff date? I looked, but couldn’t find it.

The deal ends on October 27th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time, this can be found under the "Terms" tab on the Group Buy page for any deal we have running.

Bump for my question.

Edit: I went back to the first post where you clearly state the Porsche centercaps do fit which is a huge plus for me.

I pledged on the anthracite even though I'm on the fence between those and the brushed clearcoated silver. I assume that can still be changed.

Correct, up till the group buy closes on October 27th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time you can make the change on the group buy page. Simply hover over your username in the top right corner of the page and select "My Deals". From there you can modify your selection.

Just expressed my interest on a set in Anthracite for a GTS 4.0/25 Years. How does the Anthracite color match up to Porsche’s OEM Satin Platinum color? Just wondering how a set of OEM Satin Platinum center caps will look on the Anthracite wheels vs the Apex solid color center caps.

Glad to hear you expressed interest, just know that does not mean you are locked into the deal. Expressing interest means you will get email updates as we post them, In order to be part of the deal and have your spot for a set of wheel you will have to be pledged. If you have any questions about that process feel free to shoot us a PM and we can help you out!

Regarding the center caps, I think the shade is close but it may look inconsistent with the gloss wheel and satin center cap. You can try these Turbo II Center Caps from Suncoast which are gloss grey but I have never seen them in person so I am unsure how close they match Anthracite. Alternatively, gloss black center caps from Suncoast would look good without worrying about matching the wheel perfectly.

Thanks. I only expressed interest at this point because my car has been stuck at the dealer for 3 weeks out of my total 5 weeks of ownership awaiting a back-ordered part with no ETA from Porsche AG. Since the car is not drivable, at this rate, I may not even keep it by the deal closing date, so holding my "expressed interest" status for the moment. Thanks for the alternative center cap options. My Boxster 25 Years has a different style (same as Taycan) that is available in many closer color-matching colors but don't think they will fit your wheels...unfortunately.

Regarding changes once pledged; can any/all selections be changed in the configuration up until the group buy closes? I know I PM'd you about this, but it might be a question others also have, not just color but caps, TPMS, shipping method etc.

Yes, you will be able to edit your wheel configuration, color, discount range, and add-ons from the "My Deals" section under your username in the top right-hand corner of the group buy website. From there select the deal you want to edit and select "Edit Deal". This can be done up until the deal locks in, and for this group buy is 10/27/2022 at 11:59PM Pacific Time.

Would love to see someone with Photoshop skills do the SB with PCCBs in the dark bronze and brushed. I'm currently in antercite as it is the safe option but I think the dark bronze may also work.

Mike, Satin Bronze would looked awesome with Shark Blue, you already have Platinum wheels you need to mix it up!
