Default Targa without wheels

So I was building a Targa on the configurator and I asked for GT silver, red roof and Carrera Sport wheels. And he said "I can only give you two of those, we are fresh out of CS wheels". Looks like a small glitch in the rendering software or possibly bad internet connection.

Anyway, it got me thinking - hypothetically if you could supply Porsche / dealer with your own wheels and receive say $2,500 credit on the auto price, how many would take up the offer.



Nice discs.

You should get PCCB's, those would really show off well with those "wheels".

I actually like the OEM wheel options.

Is that an optical illusion or is the rear deck glass opening from the driver's side?

If the included wheels were 20 in

there would be alot of people ordering the included wheels

but they are so Smart making them 19 in, so tires wont work for aftermarket options

I'd take the $2500 credit and put it towards a nice sent of HRE wheels.

I have an inbound TTS and ordered HREs (21s P200) from wheels boutique (great group). Dealer giving me credit for stock (I had elected the 5 lug not center lock) for use for wrap, tint etc at delivery. They are taking the stock wheels and tires as a set.

Very smooth riding, but you have to plan the corners well in advance.
