Hi, I just purchased a 992 carrera gts that i am
receiving on April, I have the center lock rims. I wanted to know if I have to buy a special tool if a get a flat tire on the road like a rentorque and what other accessories you recommend

 

Yes, get the Renntorq center lock tool.

Plus, the following:
1. precision instruments breaker/torque wrench
2. apparatus for pushing down brake pedal
3. optional centerlock pushpin tool
4. Optional additional centerlock lug nut socket.

But, really, all you really need is your friendly neighborhood Porsche dealer.

 

There isn't a spare, so I concur, the solution is a flatbed ride to your local Porsche dealer.

 

Wow - I hadn't seen this renntorq tool. Very cool.

 

I have never changed my own tire in my 30+ years of driving and don't plan on starting now. The CL GTS wheels are even better in person, I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of keeping them on my build.

 

I'm sorry - please turn in your man card.
I've driven for 50 years - and I have NEVER (not once) paid for an oil change.
We all have different things to be proud of.

 

Yes - we all have different things to be proud of. Changing tires and oil isn't one of them for me either - I'm happy to pay someone else to do it.

I'll keep my "man card", though, thank you very much. Mine is clean, with a sharp picture of me in a business suit.

 

I don't even own tools.

Lol. Probably has his butler do it

 

Cool story bro.

I've rebuilt engines, transmissions, differentials, removed the entire body from a chassis to swap out a monster quad-cam V8 in a Lincoln Navigator, had a hand in custom fabricating an exhaust manifold for a turbo kit, polished cylinder heads, rewired harnesses for engine swaps, and everything else in between.

If I can help it, I'll never do any of that **** ever again, thank you very much.

 

I own them, but haven't used them in 5+ years. I keep threatening to build a garage with a lift so I can pretend I'll do stuff myself, but will wind up paying someone else anyway.

 

I understand how some people enjoying working on their cars.

But I am not one of them.

For me, it's just not worth my time. Heck, if I actually changed my own oil, based on my hourly rate, I would end up paying more than just having someone else do it, including the Porsche dealer and paying the Porsche tax. Plus, when I go to the dealer, I get a nice espresso (or two) and warm chocolate chip cookies.

If a person enjoys working on theirs cars, more power to you. But if you do, don't look down on those that don't. Many of us have better things to do with our time. Much better.

 

I'm sorry you interpreted my comment that way, but I wasn't bragging or claiming to be proud about not changing a tire - just stating that I haven't, which relates to the OP's ask about special tools for CL wheels.

Anyways, if changing your own tires or oil makes you feel proud, then yes, I wholeheartedly agree with your last comment - we all certainly do have different things to be proud of, and in your case, need to do, in order to feel like a man.

 

I dropped a like on your comments because why not, but this is a discussion I have with some buddies often. This is a false equivalence. Unless you spend every waking hour working and billing, you're not trading billable time for oil change time. You don't enjoy it, that's fine, but to equate your oil change time to missing billable hours is disingenuous at best.

 

Not necessarily disagreeing with you on the false equivalency.

But for me, it is not a false equivalency. Because if I had to change my own oil, it would be work for me.
