Center Lock Nut Included?

Can someone with center locks reply. I have a GT3 RS on order and wanted to know if there is a center lock nut tool included with the tool kit that comes with the vehicle. Thank you in advanced.

yes, the tool is included, but you will need to buy a 3/4" torque wrench. tooltopia had them for around $300.00. or you can buy a torque multiplier (less accurate).

Also good to have...

Is the telescoping 3/4" breaker-bar that Porsche sells. At least the Torque wrench that I purchased might not even fit in the car....these things are huge!, but at least the telescoping breaker-bar is easily carried in the trunk and will suffice to get the wheel off and on and sufficiently tight until it can be checked with the torque wrench. Remember too...these cars don't come with a jack, so if you envision the need away from home to fix a flat (for instance) and would rather not use the bottle sealant, you'll need a scissors jack to raise the car.
