Haha... so true.. would be amazing if they gave the gt3 this amazing new 5 but wheel technology.

BTW, Sean and Mayur,

Will the T be allowed at the Smokies GT? T is half a GT.

Maybe if it has LWB?

Seriously. I love everything about the .2 GT3 except centerlocks. If I do decide to keep it really long term, like 10 years or more, I may convert the CL to 5 lug hubs like some of the 997 GT guys did.

I would not buy another GT car without centerlocks.

I love the overall style of the wheels, just not the CL themselves. If you don’t track much it’s not a big deal, if you do, I’d prefer wheels like the GT4, which have that GT style, while still being 5 lug hubs.

CL do not require any more maintenance than 5-lugs, even with heavy track usage.

They're also marginally lighter (about 200 grams), but still lighter.

Weight difference is marginal.

Fairly certain CL require more maintenance with heavy track usage than 5 lug hubs.

My main point though is that it’s easier to change your tires and brakes yourself with 5 lug hubs and you need to do that often if you track a lot.
With CL you always need someone to help you and the process itself takes a lot more time, every time.

I never change or torque my own wheels. I don't even own such tools.

Then CL are perfect for you.

Until the cost to properly service them comes along. Then owners say, "You want how much to service my lug nuts?"

nxfedlt1

you're correct, its even in the manual. There is no re-greasing/cleaning of lug nuts, and you don't have the grease everywhere when you're done!

Can't wait to see a 911 T at our little piece of heaven dealership here in Fresno! I love the idea of this car.. Return to simple. That's the way I remember Porsches in the 60s.

Now that I'm in my 60s I miss it. =)

ipse dixit

I won't own the car by then.

What's everyone's opinion here, how will these cars me sold?

I am assuming there will be some discount to MSRP?

That works—carry on.
