Center lock question on 997.2 2011 Turbo S

I recently acquired a loaded 2011 Turbo S with a lot of exclusive options. (187k MSRP). It does not have center locks. I’m indifferent about them. My question is did all 997.2 turbo s vehicles come with center locks? My build sheet does not show centerlocks but does show the correct 19” 911 Turbo II wheel.

Interesting, I was under the impression that all 997.2 turbo S came with centerlocks and the turbo had the 5 lug option. Maybe not

My 997.1 Turbo came with Center Locks and the RS Spyder Wheels (same as TTS), but they were optional on the build sheet. My understanding is that all 997 Turbo S models came standard with RS Spyder CL's, so I would expect the build sheet to show an option for 5 lug or assume the car was converted. I'm sure someone with better knowledge than me will chime in though...

I think there was an option to delete the centerlocks from the factory...I know some have converted to 5 lugs as well.

I am assuming they were deleted from factory since afaik the turbo II wheels did not come as a center lock option and are on my build sheet

You won the lottery with that one! When I was looking I only came across one other, a 991.1 with a 226k! sticker that had 5 lugs.

Had to have been an option to delete the CL's.

If the build sheet shows it, then they must've optioned for the 5-lug and Turbo II wheels. I have the inverse - a 997.2 Turbo (non-S) that optioned for centerlocks/RS Spyder wheels. Congrats on the car!
