The Turbo nut has instructions on it so you don't get confused!!! Also the Turbo wheel is a forged product for lightness.

The GT3 is probably the same on both counts I would suspect.

The question to me is whether the "Porsche Special Tool 9151"(or whatever it takes) is included with the GT3 (or Turbo) or if one has to purcha$e it $eparately.

In the old days, they would've certainly included one, but now that the cars come with no spare tire, I wouldn't be surprised if it comes without one (and no jack or other tools either). Is there a tool kit of any kind in modern Porsches? I can't remember...

The wrench was in the trunk of a CGT at least...

At only 4x the price Maybe it will come with one - that would be a nice gesture!

Centerlocks, no question

More esoteric and the guy changing the tires can't use a air gun on the wheels. No socket gouges on my wheels thank you!

I am going to vote for 5 lugs. I like the looks and like the light weight but I need two sets of track wheels that would either be hard to find options or if you did would cost a arm + leg so I would go with the old technology till good aftermarket options are reasonable.

It will be interesting to see if the design of the centerlock system is the same for prior GT3 Cup and the new GT3.

Does anyone have access to a PET parts list that shows the current Turbo parts list to compare to GT3 Cup?

If the systems are the same, wheels should readily be available from BBS.
