Well, add me to the list of new GTS owners!
Beautiful car! Congrats.
If I may add a suggestion, the wheel bolts can be changed to black. IMO it helps the looks of the black wheels.
Let me know if you need a set we have them in stock:

edit: we also have a set of red ones:

If you follow the link, he's referring to the Black version of the Centerlock Nut itself. He just referred to it as a 'bolt'. I think the Black and Red versions look great, but the GTS center caps are grey and those need to be replaced as well to hit the overall look. For the money, I'd spend it on the SharkWerks Center Muffler Bypass (wait a minute...I DID spend it on the bypass). Great functional mod.
Red GTSs look so good. I'm not much for the Aerokit or painted lip, but to each his own. All that matters is that you love it, right! Also impressed that you chose a 6-spd instead of PDK. PDK is great, but I enjoy driving the stick so much more.
Enjoy!

She is a beauty, I hope you eventually go a little wider with spacer or another set of wheels when the time comes, seems like she can go wider in the rear just a little, otherwise she is a beauty....Love it....
That's the one thing that has been bugged me with the CL GTSs. There is no Spacer solutions for CLs as the length of the CL nut itself can't be adjusted (as normal spacers usually require longer lugs). The only way to push those rear wheels out is to replace the wheels with ones that have a more aggressive offset. I've thought about putting GT3/3RS wheels, but can't seem to get a clear answer on whether the rears would fit correctly. There is space in the rear for the wider wheel/tire, but not sure if the offsets would work.

The GT3 is a narrow body car so even though the wheels are wider than ours I'm sure the rear wheel offset is set to keep the wheels within the body. I suspect they would not produce the effect you desire.
The GT3RS, on the other hand, is a wide body car. BUT the GT3RS also has body flares added to the fenders, so those wheels mounted on a GTS would probably extend well past the fender line.
I wonder if your best bet might not be a set of 3 piece wheels custom made to your desired offset. HRE or Forgeline (I'm sure there are others) could surely come up with what you want.

I would expect that someone like DPE or HRE would have or would make a set of wheels with suitable offsets to meet your needs. I agree with a SMALL drop. I dropped my car only 3/4" (using Damptronics), and it looks so much better than stock height. And I'm still able to negotiate street gutters and driveways (carefully of course) without too much trouble. Enjoy that great car.
That fat leather steering wheel looks deliciously comfortable on the hands.

I've given some thought to wheels for my GTS. I doubt either the GT3 or GT3RS wheels would be satisfactory.

Well, I got it!!!!!! Just got home an hour or two ago. Super happy with the car and extremely happy with the sales and service at Isringhausen. Special thanks to Geoff Jr. He made buying this car a pure joy and would recommend him all day long to anyone looking for a car.
