Center lock fallacy highlighted in a video
The worst idea from Porsche ever is now highlighted by this video. Now all the wannabe's think the wheels are legit. Someone please explain to them the reality of these stupid center lock wheels or we're gonna see some more hubs falling off like we did in the 997

technically as long as car is off
the ground and impact gun is set to correct tq this can be done
but u need new CL nuts every change. nuts are not cheap.
they should also ck to see the locking pin is all the way out
the wheel cap is not put back thus accumulate dust and cause spring locking pin to stick next time
if one really wants to be cool then run full on cup car cl

Did a track event at COTA with a different region than mine (mine is Maverick) and they require that all CL car owners remove and re-install CL. I hated it so much, am never running with them again, especially after fighting one of the locking pins for 20 minutes to get it out to position. And the nuts are now scratched, ugh.

Funny but by now we all know the powertools cannot be used on street CLs...
I get the commercial point but the OP is right that this puts all kinds of false expectations in all kinds of people...
