I have done the full recall because my CL's were loosing torque in track conditions. I could never get to the bottom of it, so I just did the full maintenance front and rear. Now, it wasn't like it would come loose, it just required checking after each session, usually one or two wheels would need tightening the first session after a wheel change. Everything was nominal, so it remained a mystery.

Dealer claimed there were new released CL nuts in January. Anyone know for sure?

997 II GT3: Even after the recall, the right rear CL occ came loose on the track and the solution was to tighten it slightly higher than 444 ft-lb torque.

Hello everybody,
After some weeks of silence, i come back. After the failure, i have just changed the RR center lock by my own (because Porsche just said i had not the OEM rims). But After the recall, Porsche took my car and changed the 4 CL and rims, and paid me the precedent operation...
I ride 2 Times, but on a track, à little rock just came between the brake and the rim and completly cut this one.
So i'm looking for a front OEM CL wheel for my gt3 non RS. Does anyone sell it ?
Thanks

kormaster is fast learner. and even got john to make him some CCW.
i like it.

P.J.S.

Read new Pano interview with AP - centerlocks on 991 are significantly different "almost the same as cup car" and old design failures are user error

They continue on because, and I quote, they are "racey"

The interview is hilarious - 3 pages of defending PDK which I think was shoved down his throat and he is trying to make the best of choking on it.

OT: stout is the man and in case he reads this - I am eagerly looking forward to the planned Pano and PCA website changes - relevance is inevitable - good on ya!

Joined the 5-lug club!

I have to say I found this thread very helpful in making my decision on switching to 5 lug.

Hi all, I'm thinking about doing the swap thanks to the info found here.
Before I order new wheels, can anyone confirm that offset is not changed at all in this conversion? i.e. is the track measured hub face to hub face identical? Many thanks.

mooty

offset is same

Thanks very much. Off I go to order some parts.
