FVD Brombacher has a very good dealer alternative for the center lock kit. Check them out.

No other Porsche dealers in the Cincinnati/Dayton area offers this service and it makes the center Locks a non issue. Lets face it, if you get a non fixable flat on the side of the road with any Porsche tire, you need a tow anyway center lock or no. Village Porsche Cincinnati.

I got the same kind of service from my dealer, and took advantage of it until I realized they weren't insuring that the locking mechanisms were properly set before returning my car to me. That's pretty elementary stuff, and hence for that and a myriad of other annoying reasons, I no longer use "my" dealership.
