Agate Gray is a great color in the sunlight, gets a nice golden brown cast. In the shade or on cloudy days, the gray sometimes appears slightly greenish. So if you're a grey-brown-green fan, this is the right color for you.

Here you can see the slight green tint:

The Satin wheels are hard to keep clean

I’d go Agate with carrera classics, I’d also add some brightwork like the silver surround, and tailpipes but that’s personal preference.

this is a well thought out and restrained spec. You may want to consider the roof rack prep, lane change assist, and if you ever may use one the prep for the dash cam which looks like it would same some money in the long run.

Here is Agate w/the surround....

My 2 cents, Agate w/silver (bright) wheels. IMO black wheels only look good on a checker cab and from >5 feet away you cant't tell if they are something other than a $25 pressed steel wheel with no hubcap. +1 on camera prewire. Sure I’m going to be in the minority on this one but if budget is an issue, I'd dump sport chrono and use that $$ towards full leather interior. Sport chrono seems nice but absent track use, seems like the features would see little use.

Agate with the silver trim and Carrera classic wheels for the win. BTW slate grey/chalk goes very well with the combo.

Another Agate/Classics vote. To me that hits "sporty and sophisticated" right on the head.

Someone else may have mentioned this but just. A gentle reminder that your lock date is an estimate. Mine locked much earlier than the date given but my SA gave me a warning that it could happen.

Forged wheels are stronger, lighter, and more expensive. To my understanding, giving the mechanics of how a car rides the impact of wheel weight differences is amplified a few fold over a similar weight difference in the car frame or contents. The comparative weights of the OEM wheel options are pretty hard to find though and there seems to be controversy over how much it matters particularly for non-track use.

It is just a different process of constructing the actual wheel.

A forged wheel is much stronger, generally lighter, and yes of generally higher quality.

Any good wheels will be forged, and in the aftermarket they are much more costly.

In the real world you would probably not notice the difference, but for me this was an easy decision.

Agate for the win! I'm awaiting delivery on mine. It arrives next month!

Unsprung weight reduction aids in handling in addition to quicker acceleration and shorter stopping distances.

I think that you mean "unsprung weight" instead of "rolling resistance" as it refers to anything attached to the bottom end of the suspension (wheels, tires, rotors, hubs, etc.). Conventional wisdom is the 2:1 rule - every pound of unsprung weight savings is worth two pounds of sprung weight savings.

Color is personal preference but I think the 911 wears agate better than black.
