looked up pelican and it does show the 05 part has been superseded by the 06 part. They list a price of $269.00. It will be interesting to see what they changed... No more grease & washers...

I've already paid for a second set that I use with track wheels... Hope they'll be replacing those at no charge also...
Seriously though, what can they possibly change? I'd be betting the only thing changing is the torque spec on the face which is currently at 500Nm and not high enough for track use thus making them somewhat liable considering they haven't even formally communicated the new setting to customers in writing...

Hi Gents,
I am finding this all a little vague. Can someone please explain the precise details of what Porsche plans to do?
For me personally, I did not like the idea of the CL wheels since before I put my order in. In fact I even asked through my dealer if I could get regular old 5 lug wheels on my ordered GT3 to no avail. However, once I took delivery of my GT3 I tried to embrace the new era of CL's, ordered the proper tools (expensive and bulky) and learned the proper skills to deal with them. I have not had a problem using and living with them by utilizing the original specifications (tq 500 Nm - 370 ftlbs), street and track.
This does not mean that I like the way they work....oh no! Actually, I completely despise them; they look ridiculous and they are a complete pain in the *** to deal with, and I am a very handy guy and change wheels very often for street and track sets. They are truly a gimmick in my opinion.
Then last year the tech bulletin from Porsche came out with new instructions and tq values. Far enough for the track....but what gets me angry is that this information should have been sent to me directly from Porsche or my Porsche Dealer; it was not, and that is very irresponsible - heard through Rennlist (thanks guys!). Also, at that time Porsche should have been sending out new wheel nuts to everyone with the correct (new) tq spec printed on them - free of change.
Now this new horse**** - if true, hopefully Porsche will step up and do the right thing for owners. If they don't I might just convert back to 5 lug on my own, so that I can really enjoy my car the way it should have been in the first place - no nonsense, and no f-ing gimmicks. Who wants a good deal on the CL hardware and two sets of wheels?
Just my two cents.
Cheers!
Doug N.

KY- I think you'll be ok- 
Hopefully we can the two cars together before you move- lets see if they'd mate...
What do you hit at the end of the main straight at MAM?? Bet it's a lot more than the SRF!!
