First congrads on your purchase.
second, make sure the CL recall has been done.

There are numerous threads about CL and if you intend to track the car please follow the strict maintenance program.

OZ GMG and a few others make CL wheels.

I just had my '11 GTS in to Porsche Scottsdale for service and inquired about the recall as well as calling PCNA about this previously. Both told me there was no recall for the GTS centerlock wheels but that there was a (TSB) or something to the effect about the new torque settings and that an insert was mailed to original owners to place in owners manual stating the new torque requirements, which I found in my glove box. If your centerlocks DO NOT have the torque rating actually printed/embossed on the same outer circle as the "tighten/loosen" printed words and direction arrow you are fine. In addition, for peace of mind call your service adviser or PCNA with your VIN and they will confirm for you the status. As kosmo states above, there are different maint. requirements involved if tracking the car....stick to them!

That's why I'm glad that mine came with the 5 lug nut wheels. My '12 is stock though and I don't plan on doing any modifications for the foreseeable future..

Was there anything specific to the GTS that you were interested in knowing about?
