Center Locking Wheels

First off, thanks to everyone that has responded to my similar thread earlier. I just got a return e mail from my dealer that my Turbo S build date was pushed back about 2 weeks.

Now I have the option of switching off the Center locks I ordered soley because they look cool and did not cost extra 3,800 like they did on the TT I considered. Now I am loosing sleep over what to do.

I like the security of being able to have Porsche Road Side Assistance deliver a loaner wheel and tire to me if I get a flat.

But....

Are the Center Lock Wheels going to be popular enough that Porsche will begin to do tyhe same with the Center Locks soon?

Anyone with some experience Positive or Negative would be appreciated.

If I switch, I need to do the change order tomorrow.

Thanks for teh Speedy responses!

Jeff

I think the PITA exposure of CL's is too much to bear. I think you can find better looking wheels than the limited choice you have with CL's as well.
