Please show me the options for center lock wheels

Just picked up my Turbo S (god I love this car )... I want to get a set of nice center locks... Can you wheel vendors chime in with your offerings? Also what are the options for the actual centerlock bolt?

Hi. I was at my auth dlr yesterday and I asked them about the centerlock option (standard on tt-S). He said watch out if you break down in the middle of the boonies. Most regular service centers and tire store aren't equipped to service these and car would have to be flat bedded to a P dlr.

When i was at forgeline recently (local) they were putting center locks on a GT3 with an adapter that simply attached to the center lock and had a standard hex in the middle. They used a standard impact. Just throw an adapter in your trunk.

He says the adapter comes with the car but you need some kind of a super torque wrench like they use in racing.

Actually come to think of it, I remember on "ultimate factories-Porsche" they showed installation of the center lock wheels with a specific numerical torque, and I remember thinking, I wonder if my local Joes tires guys would have this info/ability if I got a nail in my tire.

If you are in the boonies, what chance they would even have have your tire size no matter what your wheel type? Either way, you aren't going to be on your way for a while.

Lightest in the World

If you want a true high performance forged wheel, check out our Tech1-207 monoblock.
The 19x8.5 Centerlock fronts are 7.7 kg and the 19x11.5 rears are 9.1 kg.
This is a weight savings of almost 30 lbs over the OE wheels. Strong alloys and world-class engineering make these among the lightest TUV-compliant wheels in the world.
Wheels accept the OE TPMS sensor as an easy bolt-in, and you can use your OE Porsche cap as well.
Several styles and many finishes to choose from.
PM or email me for more info.
