Maybe this is old news, but I was surprised to see at the LA Auto Show that Porsche is offering forged center locking wheels modeled after those on the RS Spyder as an option for the Turbo only.
Below are pictures and and note on the option list the wheels are for sale as "19" RS Spyder Wheels" for $3835.
Not what I would necessarily want on a Turbo Cabriolet, but they would be a nice touch on a future GT3 or GT2.

Great idea, but I'm not sold on the execution. Maybe it looks better in person?

Actually, when Porsche charges depending on model from $2385 - $2835 for the 19" Carrera Sport cast alloy wheels , I thought $3825 was not too out of line givin Porsche pricing for these forged alloy wheels with center lock hardware that presumably come with a trick torque wrench (the 959 came with a planetary gearset torque wrench) to install them. Generally forging saves around 5 to 8 pounds per wheel over cast construction too.
