Default 5-lug hubs on backorder?

Hi guys,

I'm new here, and I'm in the process of getting my .2 GT3 set up for track use. I already took care of most of the stuff on my list, but the 5-lug hubs seem to be on backorder because Porsche has superseded the part numbers for them. I've called Suncoast and checked my (limited) sources and there is no ETA on them. Does anyone here know anything about this? I have some brand new Forgelines and E88s sitting around, but I can't put them on because I still have centerlocks.

x2 I bought some used ones from Mooty and bought new everything else.

Check the Porsche yards, as these are on almost all 997 porsche models.

997 hubs are also an upgrade for 996(added strength) so could be sales were higher than Porsche expected... J.I.T. inventory ...

Who did you order it from? I ordered mine around September, and my shop got the front hubs, but there's no ETA for the rears.

Strange. I spoke to them last week, and they did not have an ETA for more hubs. I guess I'll try calling them again.

Glad that I got that out of the way with the seller having done it for me.

Yup, might as well install some other goodies while you got the centerlocks/hubs off. Hit up Mooty for some 5-lug E88s too.
