FastLane- Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.I am prepared for the Wind/Tire/Engine noise factor, should be similar to certain of my other cars. Really sorry about your order situation, not cool. Ignoring the ADM debate, IMO the market is not $150, a lot closer to $75 +/-. Does not look like the high ADM cars are moving. In the end, who knows. Spend what you want, spec what you want and enjoy.

As another user mentioned above BBS Magnesium wheels are available: in-stock & ready to go. We've been getting a lot of orders on these as news trickles out about the OEM Mags being unavailable moving forward.

What are the differences between the BBS wheels and Porsche OEM. I bought a GT2 RS but it was a Porsche spec and didn't come with Mag wheels. Can I get the BBS in the same bronze like color?

Design wise the two are extremely similar. Unless you already knew that the two were different you probably would not notice the difference once they are on the cars. If you focus on the BBS made OEM wheel below you will see that the end of each spoke will extend further than it does on the aftermarket BBS offering.

I can get you the aftermarket BBS Magnesium wheel in the same bronze/gold like color.

If your build is Feb 2019, then will it be a 2019 model year car or a late build 2018? Curious if Porsche is allocating 2019 GT2 RS builds. I have the std wheels on my GT2 RS in the std color and I think they look great! I didn't have a choice on my GT2 RS as it was an awarded car from Porsche. I do like the look of the mag wheels, they are lighter (slight better performance), and may help resale. I am also ordering a GT3 RS to my spec, but wondering the same question with ordering mag wheels on the GT3 RS. Not sure they are as desired and whether or not I want them. I did learn today that the similar wheels from BBS cost around $20k ($800 more if you want that bronze color (shown above on Miami blue car) which is a GT2 RS only color) for the set, so $13k is a good deal if you are getting the WP anyway.
