If you can afford the car, then you can afford the maintinance- go to work and you wont have these concerns

What "hidden" maintenance cost are you talking about? I've had my 2012 GTS with centerlocks for 19 months and haven't spent a penny or maintenance on the wheels.

Yup, people who track only. That said, it might impact resale as informed buyers won't want the hassle or the perceived safety issue. And...Porsche owners do tend to track more than other brands. Unfortunately, this was a really an under-the-radar issue based on the way Porsche quietly announced it.

Racedeck Flow Thru Flooring.

Guy who owns the company Jorgen Moller was great to deal with.

I love the stuff.

That garage stuns me every time I see it All you need now is a FK Wheel Tree to put those wheels on. Enjoy, you have a great car and glad you got to enjoy the journey.
