GT2RS dilema...sorta

I've been lurking for a while back and forth from this forum and 6speed.
I have my GT2RS coming in Mid FEB, unfortunately I cannot attend PBIR for delivery of my car but will anxiously await its arrival at my dealership.

I originally wanted Gold wheels on my car and my dealer told me there was no option code for it and he checked with his factory rep and he too said the same, well more like "no gold wheels for US cars". Well I'm looking at the West Coast delivery pics and I must have seen 3 cars with gold wheels...what the heck!

I called my dealer and informed him of this and told him to call his factory rep and let him know that I want my wheels swapped out because they both advised I could not get gold wheels. Instead I opted for black wheels because of what I was told.

Will the factory rep do the right thing or tell me to pound sand?

not sure whats gonna happen - but what do the black wheels look like? all black or do they have a lip? what color is your RS? doesnt sound like there is a "bad" option here but i hope you get what you want.

I don't think you was able to order gold wheels with non red car. If it's red I'd be REALLY mad.

That's a bummer... I'm sure they will help you out given the circumstances.

- Here is a Carrara White 2 RS with Gold wheels.

But the black wheels look sooooo much better!

Also, since I'm such a nice guy I'd be happy to go pick up your car at PBIR and personally deliver it to you.

Its not Porsche's fault. Someone didnt bother to look into it.

I personally do feel it's Porsche's fault. The factory rep represents Porsche and not the dealership, no?

I ordered Guards Red and ended up with black wheels (2nd choice).

I wish I had these types of dilemmas.

Awesome car.

Make all of this go away with a set of scalloped HRE P40s.
