Just about ready to place our order for a White Turbo S Cab.
We're down to trying to decide on a few options.
Aerokit - The more I look at it, the less I like it.
Clear Tail Lights - I think it only works on a few colors with one of them being white.
Wheels - We like the Turbo wheels better but we have a new Cayenne Turbo on the water and it has Turbo wheels. I know the possible headaches with centerlocks but not sure I want the same wheels on both cars.
Thanks in advance for any input on the above options

2. I don't like the white tail lights in any color except perhaps Guards Red since the red taillights are not the same color and the contrast makes sense.
3. Wheels: I think it depends on whether you plan on going aftermarket. If so, then pick either 5 lug or CL and don't spend extra on the factory wheels.
I am assuming you aren't going to track this car?? If not, then I think the Center Lock Turbo S wheels would be fine. If you get a flat, you can have the car transported to the dealer for the tire change. You can also see if the selling dealer offers a wheel and tire protection package. I am usually not an extended warranty kinda of person, but I got the center lock Turbo S wheels and this protection package. In my area, I am not ever too far from a Porsche dealer for vehicle transport.
I am also assuming you don't like the Sport Classic wheels in the regular color of painted black?
Also since you are planning to have your new car extensively detailed, I noticed you didn't include the PCCBs. I can tell you from my 2014 911 TT the regular brake pads give off more brake dust than any other car I have owned. I am looking forward to significantly reduced (if any) brake dust. The yellow brake calipers on the PCCB may look good with your other racing yellow accents.
I am personally not a big fan of the clear tail lights as the rear reflectors are still red. As a result, I like the balance of color between them.
Looks like a nice build...I don't think you missed a ticked box for leather options
I personally like the Turbo wheel better aesthetically. I would not be all that worried about the Cayenne and 911 having matching wheels. I am sure they won't show up to the same party together. The 5 lugs set up also gives me more options for Aftermarket wheels.
On the Agate Gray 991 I had I put the clear lights on and the white it works with as well. Some other colors not so much. The reflector lights you have options too like smoking the factory ones and Sun Coast may have options shortly as well. I have added a few pictures for reference.

1. Definitely decided no Aerokit
2. Red tail lights
3. Centerlocks. BTW on the Turbo S, Centerlocks are standard but the Turbo wheels & the Sport Classics are no cost options so you can't spend extra on factory wheels. Porsche charges 3.835.00 to upgrade from Turbo wheels to Turbo S (Centerlocks) on the Turbo does not give a credit on the Turbo S if you "downgrde" to Turbo wheels. Gee, why does that not surprise me!!!

No, I don't track the car. Since Porsche no longer gives a spare, unless only a puncture you are SOL anyways if you get a flat. If a puncture Fix-A-Flat will usually solve the problem. I've owned a half dozen Porsches with PCCbs and would not have one without them even if only for the brake dust issue. Moot point on the Turbo S since, as others have stated, they are standard. My "soon to be delivered" Cayenne has them.

Thanks for the pictures. Have decided on the red lights. I may change to smoked lights in the future. I had an '08 Turbo in GT Silver and put on the smoke tinted lights. Looked great. I have no intentions of doing aftermarket wheels. Been there, done that. I put Dymags on the the '08. They were a carbon fiber wheel. No longer available. I have realized that most of the time I liked aftermarket because they were different, not better looking. After a year I'd look at the original wheels and think "those are just as nice."
