I updated another CL post but will add here to bring closure to my centerlock bolt issue. I spoke with the Porsche dealer shop foreman about this. He said it happens to them not infrequently. I said that this is a huge messy pain in the ***. I do my own winter and summer wheel swaps and brake flush. If this happened on the road, you would need a pick set to get this sorted. He order 2 circlips and they rebuilt my front central bolts. No issues after the rebuild when I swapped from summer to winter wheels. Circlips were a few bucks each.
This is a must read for all CL wheel owners.

Just going to add my $.02
It's normal, and the worst part is it makes a MESS!! Wear gloves when you are putting all back tougher, and use liberal paste on all moving parts. Did I say it will make a mess?
Porsche recommends every once in a while to fully dissemble and clean the CL nuts, check for wear, and paste it all up.
Best thing to remove the paste is WD-40.
