Default GT3 RS.2 Weissach Magnesium wheel?
Today, I placed my order for a 19 3RS Gt Silver Weissach, should I get the Magnesium wheels?

Is it really worth $15k cad.

Yes, best bargain as an OEM option. Just like PCCBs.

Can you please share your lock date, build date and delivery date? Latest 3RS build i have heard of is early April. With that said I have confirmed at minimum a Turbo S and even Carrera S with May builds.

I was told they're not taking any new orders and as a fellow white GT2 owner, I find it funny we're in the same boat (well, you got an order in, I am picking among the leftovers).

What if I hurt on of the wheels, replacement cost is crazy.

Passed on the PCCB, for some reason it bugs me not having them.

It’s a May build, don’t know the exact dates.

$46000 retail price vs. $15K Canadian at time of order, well, that's probably going to be the second question asked when you sell the car. "Does it have the mag wheels ?"

Only you can decide if the risk is worth it. But the performance difference is worth many times what the N. American version of Weissach brings and you ordered that for a healthy sum. There are many GT2RS WP buyers who would love a chance to buy those rims with their car (most are locked out of that option)...

If you like Gold wheels, I will trade you my Gold wheels on my new 3RS coming in a few weeks and I'll pay the $13k upgrade and pay the shipping both ways to swap. Still pissed I didn't get the Mag wheel option and titanium roll bar with the WP.

I would have loved to get the Mag wheels with WP but they weren't available for my build.

Mag wheels are hit or miss on 3rs. Keep asking SA if has not locked yet. When it was first on configurator I asked SA for and was told stop order. Waited a week and asked them to check again as couple of guys on RL said they got it, well knock on wood my mag wheels were not rejected the second time around.

Oh well, I added them in. I would hate to regret it.

Guess I just needed someone to say I am not crazy
