Default Turbo II Wheels on GTS

Has anyone seen/have a picture of a GTS ordered with 19" turbo II wheels?

A white GTS with SPASM and the Turbo II wheel would probably be my #1 car at this point. Saw the 991 last week, and didn't like the longer look of the car.

A picture would be greatly appreciated given that I would have to pony up some bucks to buy the Turbo II wheel seperate.

Thanks!

GTS could only be ordered with either center lock Spyder wheels or 5 lug Carrera Sport wheels.

yeah, I know that it can only be ordered with the center spyder or carrera sports, but can't the dealer swap the wheels once the car is delivered? If not, maybe someone ordered a set of turbo IIs from somewhere like suncoast.

Thanks for the replies. I have checked autotrader, cars.com, and ebay, and have never seen a gts with anything other than the two wheels mentioned above.

Pointy sorry misunderstood you... Yes any 997 widebody Carrera or Turbo wheels will fit. Remember the GTS is a widebody so the rears require a different offset. Front offset is same as narrow body cars.

In my experience, dealers are very reluctant to swap wheels on new cars (and for that matter on used cars too). But on new cars they then have to explain to a buyer of a car why the wheels don't match the option list, etc. Usually I ask the dealer to let me know if any new purchasers are interested in a swap and then contact them about it. Check with the guys at Wheel Enhancement in Culver City and there are wheel dealers in Florida (can't remember names right now) that deal in take-offs.

I second the suggestion to contact Wheel Enhancement. I've bought like-new OEM take offs a couple of times from them for use as track wheels.
