Default Center Lock Wheels

I have a 2011 GT3-RS being delivered this week. What tools will I need to change wheels? Also, is there a video posted showing how to DIY?

Thanks

I purchased the precision instruments PREC4D600f torque wrench from tooldiscounter.com and a Neiko 3/4 ratchet drive with extension handle that I use as the breaker bar. If you have carbon brakes you will need a guide tool so you don't damage your carbon rotors.

You don't need a breaker bar if you use the wrench from Tooltopia...it has a CW (clockwise) and CCW (counter clockwise) with for the torque wrench to be used in both directions.

looking at price of that wrench i would sell those stock CL rims and it would probably be enough to fund a project to replace all 4 corners with 5 lug carriers.

If you see my thread a couple down I have all the equipment for sale. $470 value for $250 plus shipping. Lube needed is not cheap.
