Default Ordered a 991 C2

Hi all,
I'm from Belgium and I ordered a new 991 on the day Butzi passed away. Talking about a tribute...

As we speak I drive a 996 4S with the most beautiful rims possible (naah not really, but hey, they're shiny ) so the plan was to sell the 996 4S and put those 19" rims on my new 991.
The offset is the same as the new 991 so there's no problem there, but now I heard that the new 991 will have a different "bolt line-up".
I don't know the proper term but normally it's 5 x 130 ?
Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thx!
And as soon as I'll get the car I'll post some pictures of the new color.

My 991 which was due in 3 weeks has been built *completely* to the wrong specs.
So I declined.
I was hoping to spend the summer in it and am now wondering if I'd wait for the 991 4S or not.

How is this relevant to the question that was asked?


OP' I have been told that the bolt pattern is the same on the 991 as on the older cars.

It's not relevant to the question that was asked, but it was relevant to the subject

How did that happen?
I signed in on an already ordered 991. I could still choose the colour and options.
Originally it was ordered Agathe Grey. I asked for Mahogany.
Apparently the changes I made didn't get to Porsche and all along I thought I had a Mahagony 991 coming while an Agathe Grey with all the wrong options will be delivered a couple of weeks from now.
Right now I'm deciding whether to wait to see the new 4S or, re-order one and have it delivered by the end of August (hopefully).

Thx for the heads up concerning the bolt pattern!

I was interested in learning why the OP's order was wrong. So I deemed it relevant to me. Sorry if doesn't meet your criteria.

I don't know about the bolt line, but congratulations on your 991! Please post pictures when you get it.
