You can get t from Porsche Motorsports. I got mine from orbit but any Porsche Motorsports customer can get them. $125.00 or 0.80c at Home Depot.

In the spirit of full information for all, I have been using a 1/2 inch or 3/8 (I dont remember) socket exstention for 2 years and it works like a champ. Quick flick of the exstention and wa-la, all locked in. No fuss no muss. Comes In many styles of chrome plateing. Drill the hole bigger in the side of the exstention, get a Porsche lanyard and now you are a racer too.

BTW, I'll still buy one from PMS just because it's PMS.

Spent some time in the garage today......scrubbing off rubber ball marks

There is a beer drinking event with Citrus PCA at Orlando Brewing Company, so I decided to give Giesha a wash. Took the red wheels off the rack......I love the red / white no sticker GT3RS. Hands down best looking Porsche ever.

Still looks good.......don't get close the clear bra is trashed
11,500 miles
5,200 track miles

Also took a shot of my fancy center lock tool.......I have not idea why it did not come with the car. It is simple to set the lock with this......and it is baller

Those of you with garage queens.......you are missing out. These cars are fantastc and love to be driven.......I will be burried in mine

I'd post a pic of my impact wrench for changing wheels, but it would be way anticlimatic compared to Randy's fancy pants tool made from unobtainium

When the 991 GT3 comes out and it's a 5 lug... that will be porsche's way of saying we screwed up and are going back to proper way of doing this

You should have come by my house. We never run out.

That is a perfect challenge

Reter, Erik, Eddie and I will show up.....see if you never run out.

You will have your friend manpurse making bi hourly trips to ABC for more beer / vodka

The 991 is more for thh deviated stitching crowd......well I guess you will have one eventually
