I don't know about the GTO but I can tell you firsthand that the C6 one was a steel insert "cast"<?> into the softer metal wheel structure. It was a breeze to cut out and has enough "meat" on it to reuse (by someone who knows what they are doing). I can't see any spline being cut into "pot-metal" so I assert the GTO is likely similar - but I'm not an engineer

Hey Mr FirstGTO - enough with the suspense-filled posts. Looking forward to seeing your finished product - I'm sure it will be great.
