I think the main difference is centre caps which can only locate in the orientation where they point at the tyre valve.

Changin' the subject....

The 430 BHP 'upgrade' (X-51 I assume) sounds like a very good idea. (Wonder how much this will cost on the already over-priced, 'cooking' 991S)?

Thinking out loud, I would also be interested to know if any of the 991 engine's performance enhancements can be reverse-engineered to go on to the 997S.2? I wonder if any tuners are looking at this? A 430BHP upgrade to my 997S.2 would be very welcome.

Letting my mind wander a little further..... I'm also guessing that if you have enough £££s you should be able to engineer your 991S (or 997S.2) engine all the way up to the yet-to-be-launched 991 GT3 and Turbo specs. It's the same basic engine after all...

a 991s with 430 bhp,pdk box...must be as quick if not quicker as a 997gt3 rs ? (in a straight line)

a bog-standard cooking 400hp 991s PDK is already as quick as a GT3.2 RS. In a straight line.
