absolutely beautiful. I also want a GTS with silver wheels but may go Agate grey and leave rest of trim black. However, having seen yours I am thinking Volcano with silver trims....

Yesterday I was thinking agate with Classic polished black wheels....

One day i may actually settle on a combination....

Hatfield is my nearest dealer - maybe I should give them a call. How long did you have to wait for your car?

Agate with black trim and black GTS logo, but silver alloys would be interesting?!?! Choices.

I ordered mid March and got it end of June. Not bad, but I got a cancelled order which helped a lot.

Well it's not a GTS, and the badges (and callipers) are the wrong colour, but like this ...

I am a sucker for chrome, so have spec'd silver wheels, chrome sports exhaust (yes, on a GTS!) and aluminium window trim. And no privacy glass.
GuyW, me too, my S is shiny exhaust tips and shiny aluminium window surrounds and the shiny chrome lettering on the back, plus I added a shiny alloy boot protector and without privacy glass. When I look at a GTS on the confuserator, although I select exterior aluminium finish, the window trims always show as black, so I assumed they were matt black aluminium rather than the hi gloss plastic and shiny chrome was not available. I can see yours on the car but not the confuserator, 'confused'. Also although I select the shiny spyders, they always show as black, are they not available on a GTS? or are these quirks of the system?
As for no privacy, I have just had a light film tint added to all windows, only 30% so legal, and I like the look plus the added uv/sun protection benefits. Easily removed at sale time.

Yes. The configurator can't show my spec but the listing is right and the pictures speak for themselves!

Too each, their own. But I love her!!

I just don't like black wheels, and so yes agate grey with black trim but silver wheels works for me. If you could get them in a grey colour rather than black I would be interested...

3 months sounds good - if I have to wait too long I am very concerned about spec creep...

You can get wheels professionally painted/treated by Porsche approved specialists. There is a nice shade of platinum grey available, but the colour choice is virtually limitless. :geek:

Or the 21" Sport Classic wheels can be ordered in platinum grey.
