Default Looking for Guards Red

I've been searching high and low for a 2011 Guards Red and I've only managed to find one new one in Atlanta, but it has silver painted wheels ().

I know what used ones are out there, but was wondering if anyone knows of any other 2011 Guards Red out there, thanks guys.

Yeah i actually just found that one. It has the wheels painted black. Not bad but my preference is the stock wheel. Still on the lookout!

You are going to let black wheels get in the way???

Not many new red GT3's around

Just saying I'm not going to spend 115k+ for a Guards Red GT3 and settle for black wheels when there could be another out there with stock wheels.
Also what a lack of insight to not paint the center lugs black.

I would think that a dealership interested in making a sale would swap wheels for the color you want... But what do I know.

Picky?! You bet.
One dealership commented that the wheels are "difficult to get". But that was due to damage on the wheel discussion of replacement vs repair. Never asked a dealer about swapping the all wheels due to color preference. I have no clue how long they would really take to get also, but i also don't think the dealer would be to excited to exchange the wheels when they cost ~$6k

I've got it! Buy the red car w/black wheels and I'll trade you even my Ti finished ones.

Guards Red available at Prime Porsche in Westwood, MA. I think it has stock wheels. PM me if you want dealer contact info. The sales manager is a great guy.
