According to this brochure, you could get: silver three spoke, machined three spoke or fourteen spoke.
Machined finish came on the R8s

You're right, I've got a downloaded copy and didn't check the link.

Here is the actual GenF one..

I prefer silver but thats personal choice

my 2nd choice after the busy gts 10 spokes i went with

That brochure Derek posted is from 2013, probably the first iteration July 2013 according to the filename.
Another example of old info is this page: https://www.hsv.com.au/classics/?Series=GEN-F&Model=ClubSportR8Tourer
... it shows Tourer as being available with a manual, an option which went away some time in the middle of Gen-F.

Aha!
Found it among the HSV pages ... https://www.hsv.com.au/classics/?Series=GEN-F&Model=MY15ClubSportR8Tourer
That's the MY15 info, Rapiers were an option but the standard wheels are the same (albeit the different colour as per @abuch47's poast).
Maybe the manual option was deleted for MY15 ... I guess if they first released the Gen-F in July 2013 it was probably a MY14 up until MY15's release.

manual trans was standard on ALL GenF Tourer models... you optioned in an auto if you only wanted 2 pedals
but manual was never on GenFII

my Tourer is one of the last GenF built (just before GenF II started production) and has a manual trans

You must have had to ask the dealer, from MY15 their price / ordering lists didn't show it, and you couldn't option it on their online design-your-own-and-quote either.
It's also not listed as available in that brochure I linked above, here:
https://www.hsv.com.au/classics/?Series=GEN-F&Model=MY15ClubSportR8Tourer
and yet for MY14 they mention it quite prominently near the top:
https://www.hsv.com.au/classics/?Series=GEN-F&Model=ClubSportR8Tourer

Your manual MY15 Tourer is likely to be one of ... I'm going to guess probably only one of max 10-odd in existence!

I think HSV were a bit screwed up around the time of the MY change
plus GenFII was about to kick off shortly too...
Why?
they mention launch control* (manual only)... on that brochure but then
don't mention manual trans. (see pic)



*ps... if you try it, an amazing way to launch (only word for it) something as big and
heavy as a Tourer. I also found it abuses a few things too....

Does that mean there is manual launch control in there if I put a manual in a VF2 Clubsport Tourer?

Everything's in place (sensors/actuators) that the car could do it ... it's likely just a matter of fiddling with the tune somehow/somewhere.
[which now I think about it you may need to do if you change the 'box anyway]
