Sorry Eduardo, I thought it was all three. I have to say since I can't get leather to sample and wood (well without mega CXX bucks), I am going Teutonic which I thought I saw you use.
And on the wheels, I think the blue touring is satin aluminium and the black touring is the standard silver, but that is just based on pics because the blue is monochromatic and the black seems to have polished parts (pics and speculation based on the configurator).

Perhaps the paint or clearcoat application has changed (vs optional silver on .1), as std silver seems to really pop on .2's.
Attached pic is of a Swiss delivered Guards Red + std silver wheel + steel brake.

But I would be concerned if I had alcantara that
the chain maille & metal bits would cause too
much tear & wear! It's fine, however, with the
partial leather seats!

PS Do you have headroom for that neat helmet?
Now you know why they had a sunroof on the
.1 997 gt3 version!

This is how I've spec'd for a GR build. The recent Blue touring upclose shots/video of std silver only further solidifies it for me.

Example from 991.1 GT3 below... wheel spec'd with silver paint option. They are plenty bright.

I guess no sense to pay for the Satin Aluminum because those are plenty bright for me

The wheels on the black car on the previous page are also the standard wheels, not Aluminum satin. It's the lighting that makes some believe otherwise. The red one (from immocars) has Aluminum satin ones. I saw the car at the Ring and also spoke with the owner.
Both wheel colors can look equally bright in certain lighting conditions, but aluminum satin looks brighter in dim lighting.
You should choose the standard wheels if you like the glossy look (I do) or the aluminum satin, if you like the matt look.
You can't go wrong with either.

Believe that is transport protective tape yet to be removed. You can see it on body & it cuts off going partially up black trim.

@PwAg: You are right, the immocars' has indeed standard silver. My bad. I've just checked with my photos and a video I took. I remember them being very bright. Best example that proves how easily fooled you can get.
