Wow - gorgeous - how rare is it to have five bolt wheels on the GTS? I have always thought that would be far preferable to the centre-locks, but I must confess I didn't even realize that 997.2 GTS could be had with five bolts.

Not as rare as finding carbon buckets! Thank you!
Yes 5 bolts are much easier to live with, Centre-locks certainly look cool though!
GLWS. I had a 6-speed '11 GTS with Aerokit Cup; found a set of Sport Buckets out of a GT3 for $5k. Can. (yes, I know that was a deal). Would swap in the 4-ways for winter and use the Sport Buckets in summer.
Your GTS is a beauty, and truly unique with the Sport Buckets and 5-bolt wheels from the factory.
Regarding the re-importation to the U.S., I just sold a Cayman S to a U.S. buyer. Because your GTS has the U.S. emissions certification label the buyer would be OK on that front, but it might be prudent to provide the eventual buyer with a compliance letter (copy below) from PCNA which also shows there are no open recalls on that VIN. Our buyer was advised that U.S. border guards can be picky, and it's better to have the letter than not. Easy for you as the registered owner to get for the buyer in 24-48 hours by contacting customer relations in Atlanta. Here's contact info:

Thanks so much for the info. The helpfulness of the people on this forum always amazes me. I contacted Maddy and she mailed out the letter to me today.

Buckets are a must have for me now. After 2 cars with them, I would opt them in any performance 2-door Porsche I would buy. So comfortable and so sporty!
I've attached the letter from Porsche stating that the car meets all U.S. Federal Safety and Emissions requirements and that they certify there are no open recalls on this vehicle.
