Why would you? It seems like a PITA and you need special tools, plus god knows if a local tire shop would know what to do if you needed help. Why spend the dough to make life harder?

I've read several stories of people tracking their cars with center locks and the wheels coming off. Not sure if Porsche has remedied this with the latest 991, but it seems far more trouble than it's worth.

that would be the worst idea ever, everyone that drives their car seriously with the center lock converts to the 5 bolts, going the other way around is not only going to cost a lot but it is a very bad idea.
