If you select the one 5 lug option for the wheels, I know you can after the fact (talk to your dealer) fit the second set of wheels on the car that you posted and be totally fine. I don't think however the first set will fit as I believe those are for the specific offset of the Turbo body? I know porsche exclusive has done different paint schemes wheel wise for European customers however, so maybe you could ask to get it done?

You're right, the dealer has said the same thing to me... I think it's the best solution to paint on the wheels....

If you got the GTS center lock wheels, and it looks like you did from the pictures, you can't use the wheels in option 2 since they are five lug design. You could use them, but you would need to change the hubs first, which will be expensive.

1) the Turbo S CLs will not fit the GTS (rears are different offset)

2) at least one RL customer has been able to get Exclusive to paint their wheels at the factory

3) since its appears as your car has CL you cannot (cheaply) retrofit 5-lug wheels

Your only option is to either paint the OEM wheels or buy an aftermarket

Actually not so sure about this... I was at my dealer's track day yesterday (Mosport GP track, holy **** it is fast) and there was an Agate 991 GTS 4 with the polished/black Turbo S wheels on it. I should have taken a pic but it looked great and fitment appeared fine.

It actually had dealer plates on it too so thinking it may have been a demo... I'll see if I can find some more info.

Yeah, I'd say they'll fit a C4 alright...probably have room for a spacer or wider tire, too.

ok now I am not so sure about those #'s ... which I copied from the porsche.co.uk configurator, because when I look at the GTS specs, they are the same offsets!

I think the answer is YES! I just had a MY2016 Targa GTS built. It is out of the factory last Thursday and waiting for "exclusive" work. One of the confirmed extras are the Turbo S wheels which are exactly in your photo. This is being done at the factory so i am not sure if it can be done outside of the factory. I did my order thru PORSCHE EXCLUSIVE Beverly Hills.
