Your eyes are almost right. They are $31k and you get a few carbon bits for free.

I was thinking the same thing. Mine locked about a month ago.

Anyone actually confirm if they are really available. I think someone on this forum recently ordered a gt2rs (within the last week) and was told no mag wheels for the foreseeable future

What’s interesting is, according to the configurator, the wheels are $13k...BUT...requires the addition of the WP...!

Damn it Porsche! I just want the wheels! Of course I can buy them for $37k(?) from Suncoast!

They should just forget the magnesium wheels and go to graphite composite like the Ford GT and GT350. Isn't carbon wheels lighter and stiffer?

Or you can buy the non-Porsche version of the BBS Mags (look very similar with a small difference in spoke design and made by same company) for under $20k.

Been getting several calls every day about this for the BBS/Manthey version.

There are some sets of Porche OE Magnesium floating around but the price is about double of the BBS/Manthey Version

Be happy to help any of you guys out if you need them

Was told they are not available to spec on a 2RS despite being on the configurator (and mine is a Feb build).

I was able to get mine updated and accepted this morning. March build. Went to v200 but SA likes to wait 24 hours before declaring victory for sure.
