Found elsewhere:
Just found this on Porsche's site, this explains the center locking wheel system which originated on the GT3:
"The new 911 GT3 runs on onepiece, titanium-colored, 19-inch GT3 wheels. Taken directly from motorsport is the new central locking device with GT3 logo. The advantages over a conventional five-hole screwed fitting include better driving dynamics and performance thanks to fewer rotating masses and, of course, faster wheel changes. A huge advantage – especially when racing. "

Thought I'ld close out my original post with results from today.
I was at the dealership to place my order on a GTS. Rep tells me it turns out they can order sports suspension and keep the center locks.
Regardless, I opted for the Carrera Sport Wheel.
Now the waiting begins.
Thank you all for input / opinions.
