Nice looking wheels. Made me think of one issue though......

If you buy the car with the center lock wheels, what sort of aftermarket choice are you liable to have if you want track wheels???

plenty. The issue is if you already have a set or two of track wheels. They do look great.

I thought the first round of talk was that the centrelock mechanism here did not match up to typical centrelock track wheels?

Full disclosure, I have never had centrelock wheels, so that could be a pretty stupid statement, but I thought I remember it from the first comments.

That is my dilemma, since I already have 2 sets of track wheels.

Default More MY10 GT3 Pics from NY Auto Show

The car is really nice looking. I believe it has 435HP. They did not have a Turbo or GT2 or the new Panamora -- they saved this car for Geneva.

I saw it this weekend as well, and strangely enough, I thought it looks better in the pics I've seen than in person. Not the styling, but the red seems a bit "snappier" in pictures than in person.

Sure photography is key, that is the same red we have all seen for years. I doubt Porsche would drop guards red or change it.
