I'm wondering will you be able to get any aftermarket wheels if you have these on your 2010 turbo ,not that i will need to know but it would certainly limit the customizing of a turbo,wheels being the fist thing to change in most case.What would life be without 20" wheels LOL

Retro kits for the center lock wheels will be out in January2010 for the turbo. There are only three sets of these wheels in Germany and none in the U.S. according to my dealer.

The weird thing is that the centerlock wheel/kit ends up weighing 1 pound more than the regular 5 lug turbo wheel on the 2010....

Center Lock Wheels

I skipped them on my order for several reasons. First, I asked if the service station in east jesus Kansas could change them and they had doubts. Second, I had run the order up to $160k and didn't feel like spending another $3,500. Third, I liked the other wheels better with the dark gray I ordered.

That's just me.......

cause really not a "true" center lock; has adapter for 5 lug set-up, that's why conversion is possible, not the same as the CGT

With that in mind; would you go for center looking if you were to go with a 2010 car?

I really like the idea of the PDK in the Turbo so my mind is working.

Right, my thought too - why add dreaded unsprung weight when the engineers have worked so hard to remove it?
