man, the standard forged are already pricey enough. I wish BBS made non-Mag monoblock in 20" for the GT3, I'd ****** a set up in a minute. Love the look for both track and street.

Seeing this is extremely frustrating.
BBS can't keep up with production for Porsche, for all the guys like me that would like to have the WP and these wheels for the 991.2 GT3RS, yet here you guys are selling these wheels in the after market.
BBS - why don't you guys take care of Porsche, first?
Porsche - why don't you guys tell BBS to take care of your orders, first?
Seeing things like this makes me want to buy/support a different brand all together.

Same here. Or if they made the 7 spoke RS style wheels in 20" for GT3 fitment, mag or aluminum.

My guess is BBS is trying to be fair by supplying wheels to all their vendors. Why only give to one vendor and not the others..wouldn't that **** others off? Isn't that like saying Porsche should supply GT cars to US customers first because its the biggest market and the rest of the other countries have to wait? I'm sure most of the wheels are going to Porsche but they still need to take care of other vendors as well.

Very good point. Unless there is a clause on the contract that supplier have to provide committed to customer (Porsche) a finite number of set of wheels per month, quarterly, etc., then there's not much neither party can do. I doubt BBS will ramp up production staff just to keep up with this spike in magnesium wheels demand.
Plus this is the first time if I am not mistaken that both GT2RS and GT3RS are being sold in the same calendar year. On top of this per Andreas Pruninger, the demand for ordering these cars with Weissach Package has been overwhelming, thus the shortage in magnesium wheels supply.
On top of this, people ordering the magnesium wheels, if your car arrives without the magnesium wheels, Porsche will provide for "Free" a set of already light alloy wheels with the car upon delivery, and customers get to keep those wheels while they await the arrival of their magnesium wheels. At least that is how people I know have been receiving their GT2RS cars. Now isn't that a nice gesture from Porsche?
Just my $0.02.
Drive safe,
