Thank you sir. Was the color as beautiful as you imagined driving it home.

The 992 Spyder wheels are the heaviest.

Are the stock T wheels forged? I seem to recall they were both lighter and stronger than Spyder rims, but not sure of details.

Mind you I had to take it up to 100MPH (in a 60MPH zone!!) then as if by magic, it closed.
Will keep an eye on it going forward.
And that zone, for legal issues reasons, was on the Isle of Man.

Inquire with a dealership Porsche technician as to what they suspect the 992 glass sunroof weighs with mechanicals involved. If one gets lucky they will actually locate a tech that has had to repair one under warranty like I have. “It is easily over 50 pounds.”
Wow. I was just guessing. Going from carbon roof to a glass sunroof is like carrying a sack of concrete on the roof! 👍 CF roof was a must for me.

Correct. That is what I was told from dealer and as you know, unsprung weight is a big savings.

Unfortunately, the standard wheels are not forged.

The CF roof over the standard aluminum roof supposedly only saves a couple of pounds, but it sure does look incredible!

That’s my understanding also. The CF would not be worth the $ on a dark colored car imo.

You were informed correctly, they do. I greatly like the look of the Spyder wheels, but I did not look forward to cleaning them if I were to option them.

Love it. We got our Taycan in the same color. Images never do it justice. Looks great in so many types of lighting. Looks great with the T trim.

Same here, knowingly I ordered RS wheels, as I wanted it for a long time.

Anyway, with this logic one can say don’t order S or GTS as it has heavier brake rotors

I will get me coat

As I’ve said before, it’s not too late. Mine was added by the dealer after I had it painted.
