Those wheels are nice!

I actually do think they make the BBS for my car, the problem is I don't want to go 5 lugs... Even though it seems the best wheels are 5 lugs...

What would be required to do the change from Centerlock to 5 lugs?

Suncoast sells conversion kit to go from 5 lugs to centercaps for steel brakes @ $2,150.00 or ceramics @ $1,729.00 so I would assume they could get a kit to go the other direction. I personally would not change from centerlocks though. Try to find a wheel you like that will fit as is. The only drawback to centerlocks is how difficult they are to change if you get a flat. They sure look nice though.

May want to read this concerning centerlocks on a GT3. I don't know if it is the same for the Turbo S.

Yea I'm not sure if it's the same... However, I think I'll hold off on switching to 5 Lugs for now. Seems too much of a pain to go through right now.

I'm currently looking at ADV1 SL Wheels, got confirmation Tech 1 isn't available. Shame.

Any reason you aren't considering HREs?

There is a used set of CL40s on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/HRE-CL40-Whe...c08d8a&vxp=mtr

But they have a few different models in Center Lock.

Rays makes a Volk centerlock for the Porsche as well.

I looked at HRE P40C but they look just like the OEM ones.

Currently, I'm looking at the ADV 10.1 SL;

http://whee1s.com/autopict/cardisk/179/357/178149.jpg

They look nice, different from OEM, and lighter as well.

Any opinions?

Do your due diligence, search the forums and read customer experiences. You are about to spend $5K-15K...how each company responds to serious issues of wheel design and safety are as important as how the wheel looks.

The more I read about the OZ, the more I like them.

It's about 25 Lbs less than stock if I'm correct?

And I'm sure they're designed for hard driving?

OZs are a fantastic choice. Great wheel.

The P40s definitely look very similar to the stockies but don't overlook HRE. One of best wheels you can own and they have a broad selection of models.

I'm guessing you saw DARTH-VADER's ride? Its so sexy. The Ultraleggera HLT CLs look so sick. The price is just hard to argue, great value for the price. You should talk to Damon from TireRack. They are an exclusive vendor.

While they are relatively inexpensive, HLTs aren't exactly light.

We could also do our RG72 centerlock wheel, which is very unique in that it's the only 1 piece fully forged centerlock wheel with a polished lip. Best of both worlds...
