Tonight RTR had a presentation from a Porsche rep and we saw the new centerlock pieces. Very cool, light, and will only require around 100 ft/lbs to torque according to the rep. So no torque multipliers or long wrenches need apply. OTOH, these pieces look really trick and equivalently expensive, and will (of course) instantly make all of your expensive wheels obsolete.

RTR?
100 ft/lb works if there's a different locating mechanism (and the spring-loaded radial lock pins.) This makes it fundamentally different -- unlike the Carrera GT design other than in appearance. At least it's not a retrofit.

Do we know yet whether there will be an option/choice of the traditional 5 lug or the centerlock? I thought the car was set to come with centerlocks - hence the interest in all things centerlock. Hopefully I am wrong and there is a choice.
