Default Satin Aurum wheels on GTS?

Even Google has a hard time finding images of the Satin Aurum finish spec'd on the 718 Sport wheels (not the GT4/Spyder wheels- plenty of those).

Do these actually exist outside of the configurator? Is there a particular reason why people may not be ordering them- i.e., is availability an issue or would it add a long wait to an order?

Also somewhat on-topic I can't find a way to spec PCCB on the GTS... I'm assuming this has to do with the extremely limited availability of those or did Porsche just kill PCCB for the GTS models?

But seriously, I think I want Satin Aurum wheels on my build but can't seem to find any benchmarks outside of literally 2-3 images on google.

Here's some on a Python Green Boxster GTS 4.0 that arrived at the same time as my GT4 (also Python Green with Satin Aurum!)

I believe Porsche killed the PCCB option for the GTS

The PCCBs were discontinued in the 718 base, T, S, and GTS models because they used a smaller, older system which exceeded the legal limit for copper content post 2020. They were last offered during October 2020 production for some early MY2021 cars. I think the take-rate was always low on them.

Google did find that one.

Also off-topic; it is interesting to see sometimes how cars like this will pop up on Autotrader. Although I've seen Manheim pop up several times when looking for similar cars in the past. They get some really interesting late model performance/luxury cars in their inventory...

Thanks, super informative. I definitely missed that memo.

I was actually considering speccing them too but I don't think they'll be missed terribly.

The chalk with aurum wheels is a great benchmark, as I'm deeply considering Carrara White Boxster. Thanks for the responses!

PCCB's are still available on the Canadian configurator. Doesn't mean that you can get them, but they are there.

When I ordered my GTS in Dec 2020, it was right when PCCB's were discontinued. I was pretty bummed because I wanted it but at least I saved like $10k on my car.
