Maybe if you CL guys all get together and negotiate a giant group-buy for a hundred+ 5-lug conversion kits all at once then someone at Porsche might notice. Especially if you all ship your old parts back to Germany addressed to "Porsche Marketing" COD and a copy of this photo in the box.




Just trying to inject a little humor here.

Is it usually the passenger rear that is failing?
