They're center locks. High maintenance hubs and difficult to remove (400+ foot pounds to remove). I'd go with HRE

HRE can make center locks too. But them being a PITA has nothing to do with value. Strength, weight, materials, complexity of the design, reliability are what determine value that can be measured and are not subjective. U have to go to the SC line to match those wheels and HRE SC are 8k alone just for wheels no tires.

CLs are a huge PITA if you track the car a lot because the torque wrench is huge and $$$$$.

I agree on that 
These wheels look much better on a Macan or Cayenne. Centerlock wheels are very nice, but also very expensive.
Got a mail from my dealer for sets of winter wheels+tyres a couple of weeks ago. The Centerlock wheels are somewhere about $12.5k incl. winter tyres....
That's the price of a small VW Up! For a couple of winter wheels.

What a bargain...
Personally, If I lived in a climate that I needed snow tires, I think I'd park the 911 for the winter. I'd rather rather crash a VW in snow/ice than a 100k+ auto.

Wrong. Only if they have track use. I have a 2012 GTS with centerlocks and have never had an issue with them. I have the special service bulletin on the hub maintenance and it is just needed if the car is tracked, and then only after a certain number of hours..

I thought my previous posts were clear, but apparently not. I am saying that the additional maintenance requirements for CL wheels only apply to cars that are tracked. See attached maintenance information from Porsche on CL wheels.
What are you saying?
