Default Center Lock Conversion Kit, Wheels and Bearings

I’ve had a ton of requests so I’m offering a center lock conversion kit that uses all OE Porsche Motorsport parts.

You will get new Motorsport parts, instructions and torque specs required to change out the hubs and related parts in your own uprights (see pictures below). These parts work on 996, 997, 986, 987 street cars. By converting your uprights you don't have to change your brakes or deal with other issues that complicate upright replacement. The kit comes with everything you need except CL wheels and wheel bearings (comes with red safety clips, center nuts, center lock spindles, motorsport hubs, drive pins, lock cones and related hardware) - $3000

I can get new Porsche Motorsport BBS 996 Cup car wheel centers from Germany that work with the center lock hubs. These are aluminum E88 BBS centers. I'm selling kits with 4 wheel centers and 4 pressure discs (Motorsport center cap that works with Porsche Motorsport center lock nut). You buy any width 24 bolt 18" BBS rim halves you need to build the wheels however you want. I can sell those also but I figured I would leave you that freedom to get the common parts from anybody you want to deal with - $3200 per kit.

Wheel Bearing kits (per car)
996 99-05 Carrera (except 4S) - $475
996 99-05 Carrera 4S and GT3 - $350
997 05-08 Carrera 4, 4S, S, Turbo and GT3 - $400
986 97-04 Boxster (except S) – $450
986 00-04 Boxster S - $250
987 05-08 Boxster / Boxster S - $300
987 06-08 Cayman / Cayman S - $300

You can e-mail or paypal to this address as long as it’s a personal payment and you indicate what kit you are buying and your shipping address.

Thanks
Mark

No, just pictures to show you what the cup wheels look like.

Interesting.

For street/road drivers, I assume this would void warranty and insurance, so caveat emptor.

For the track, I think it's great. Now, just add in a kit to weld in air jacks and you've got a winner. : )

Great looking 996, I think this is a great idea.

do you have any center lock set up for a 993?

I think your next question is going to be "How much for your women? I take them all." : )

This is classic, you show a picture and everybody sees something different (and not what I'm trying to show).

Maybe I should have pictured a 996 Cup car with perfect wheels and a wrap that looked like a paper trash bag!

I don't know the exact size of the 964 or 993 bearings. If you have them, please e-mail me at oemexp@att.net I'll compare and tell you if these parts will work. If not, I can probably get earlier center lock hubs for you.

Thanks for the interesting short film! I seem to have seen it somewhere before? I really like the tombstone instant popup!

When you make it big at Cannes, please remeber us little people - and circle back for a center lock hub conversion kit.

Thanks,
Mark

Lopro -- if you don't have the bearing size PM me. I think I have a front and rear wheel bearing box laying around that I could get the mfg part number off of.
