Default Trade for your center lock kit - Texas or nationwide

I have a 2007 Turbo with carbon ceramic brakes and 25k miles. If anyone is interested, I'm open to trading for your centerlock kit and wheels plus cash. I'm not sure about logistics but if someone is interested, we could work that out. Car isn't a daily so if it were on a rack for a couple weeks during shipping it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I don't track the car so tire changes aren't a concern for me. Could be a long shot, but figured what the hell.

Now that's an odd request! Usually people get rid of the center locks and do a 5 lug conversion.

You might want to post on the 997 GT3 forum, I bet you'll get a ton of responses.

But before you do, consider again your idea, there are many well documented downsides to CL.

Best of luck!

Thanks. Will post there. I've read about the downsides but with no track time, no spare, and pccb brakes so not going to regular tire stores, I think most would be mitigated by my use of the car. The 2010+ GT3 wheels in my opinion are the best looking ones available.

If you do go the CL route make sure you purchase RS wheels. You can not add spacers with C-locks.

Agree on the wheels being the best oem wheel

Good to know...I could always swap for the turbo centerlocks and trade out later.

Out of curiosity why do you want CL?

If you ever go to sell your car, a knowledgable buyer may take this mod as a negative. I would for sure...

I've decided to just do an aftermarket set of 5 lug wheels...after more research.

Dang wish you where local. I'd swap you my center locks for 5 lug in a heart beat!
