mines high, 112K miles

the mechanic and I examined the oil that was drained out and in his experience very clean,
and the cam shaft deviation was just on spec
-he's seen much worse and in his opinion my LMSB should be fine

unfortunately, we in NA didn't get the GT3 until 2004, so we missed out on gen1. Our GT3 had wheels that are similar to yours/mine but were 1 piece and I'm sure, a lot lighter! I'm refinishing mine as we speak and it's a lot of work. The clearcoat over bare aluminum lip, is the problem area as paint doesn't adhere to metal well without a primer coat. That thread you posted showed one solution- painting it. The other would be to leave the lips bare (!) and polish them as required(!!!!). I believe salt is the worst enemy here.
