Default GTS Wheels

Soon-to-be first time Porsche owner here. My GTS arrives sometime in spring 2022. I'm thinking of going aftermarket for wheels. Is there a market for the stock wheels, particularly the centerlocks? If so, any idea on what I can expect to receive for them? Thanks all!

I suspect there will be very little market for the OE GTS CL wheels as they only fit the GTS. No other Carrera can fit CL and the turbo and GT3 models have different sizes and offsets.

Get wheels other than the CLs - there is a market for the other choices.

Thanks guys - this is super helpful! I do like the RS spyder wheels and will probably start with those.

Only had one center lock car, a Ferrari 330 GTC. Big blunt hammer and no sweat. The Porsche CL with all the tools required, lube, torque, back down, re-torque, seems like a lot of effort for no real advantage. Yes, F-1 does wheel changes in 2.5 seconds or less. Yes, Indycar does fast wheel changes ... with the proper tools. JS Rag Man doesn't need center locks. They're really cool but there's no technical advantage for a street car. And 99% of the local tire shops are baffled by them. So why?

I wish Porsche allowed us to get the Turbo wheels without center locking.

They are forged and look better (especially in person vs pics) but I wish I could pass on the CL. I am getting CL Bc I have no choice due to wheel design I prefer.

To OP only market would be someone who has a GTS, no real market for resale

My concern is a nail in the tire and lack of anyone except Porsche dealer being able to fix it.

I will drive this on weekends. Am I wrong? Can other shops fix a hole?
