We'll take pics of both together once he takes delivery this week... meanwhile here's another perspective of his wheels (with flash):

Love it!

I guess IRL the difference between gloss and matte is more noticeable.

yeah I am so confused by the wheels, some of the launch photos for the touring edition makes the standard finish seem really bright and some make it seem in between Satin Aluminum and Satin Platinum. I'll have to try and see some of these in person when they arrive here.
What dealer is that? its huge?!?!?

This MBlue is actually a good friend's car... stunning in person.
He has the optional $1,220 Satin Aluminum and I have the standard $0 Silver Aluminum.
His is not as glossy as mine... hence "satin" so it's one step less brighter IMO.
Mine is the shinier silver aluminum... lighting plays a big role though.

Btw it's pretty cool that all 6 in this shipment came with Michelins.... their shipment a week ago had 1 car with Cups and 1 with Dunlops.

And for some neat detail... here's that carbon fiber rear lid hinge....

50/50 manual vs PDX ....Chalk looks good, and better in person my view.

Video from Alexander explaining the spec on each of the 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBXGIvtsn8M
They're close but the optional ones are clearly a nice satin in finish and has a different type of brilliance to it. Both are bright... Satin is shiny/sparkly (it reminds me of a glistening pearlescent finish) while the standard looks brighter IMO due to the glossy lighter silver paint. Can't go wrong with neither... I like them both so just decide if you want to spend another $1220... in the end the effect is lighter colored wheels as opposed to the black or satin platinum ones plus it also depends on your build and theme you're going for.
Here's another perspective under less lighting... but later this week I think we'll be able to get both our cars side-by-side together for some shots.
^Note.... he also has the "model designation delete" option.
Mine below at same dealership during PDI back on Oct 17th...

The Satin aluminum and silver aluminum seem to be very close based on pics. Always thought satin black would go best with miami blue on the GT3 though

In these two pictures the finishing also looks the same but different than the finishing in the pictures of my last post, for bossing would you say the first two or second two reflect standard wheels more in real life?

My standard wheels... this one is more accurate and I took this with a better camera, not a phone pic.
And another of the Satin Aluminum.... phone pic though:
Think of shiny silver paint finish vs. a glistening satin finish.... both are bright, just different perspectives.
