All things old are new again. Like a push button to start the car after you have turned on the ignition key. Trendy crap. And centerlock wheels, Morgan has been offering them for 50 plus years. I have two sets for my 1998 +8. A set of wires and a set of alloy racing rims. Yeah their cool, but I dread having to see them an every crap box driven by a wanna-be driving an overweight underpowered sled as they rush to embrace another trend. Like white framed shades.

I sold my Dymag’s for my 08 997TT and this will be my next wheel

Dymag’s are Carbon Fiber barrell’s with magnesium spokes ( 9), But you need a corgi machine to install the tires.

It looks cool. Is it worth the money?? How useful will it be?

If anyone remembers the early Testarossa had a single lug, and later went to 5 bolts.

Oh yeah, I can see that being very useful to the average 50 yr old Porsche driver who changes his wheels on a daily basis!

To me it’s just another useless boasting right for owners. I thought that Porsche was above all that. Isn’t that sort of thing more for your “‘I’ve got a Ferrari, look at me drivers”?

Still, I wonder if owners will pay extra for the guys at the local Jiffy Lube to dash out and do a quick wheel change for them when they go in for their monthly oil & lube

It’s about time we got some Porsche coverage on this site.

Actually, I’ve heard that these wheels are heavier than their normally lugged cousin. Have you seen any numbers/specs to qualify or contradict this?
