Default Porsche 991 GT3 promo...some questions

A fairly heavy package arrived last week. Inside , a black box, inside that a circular metal container holding a GT3 Centre lock nut.

Well...a centre lock laptop/smart screen cleaner. It raised some questions for me...

(1) Is there a five-stud version?

(2) Can it fall off and shatter my computer screen?

(3) How can Porsche supply it without the four foot torque wrench to tighten in back in its container?...my request for the wrench has gone strangely unanswered...

Has anyone experienced any issues yet? Scared to take it out for a test run if there is any sort of recall...........................

Very nice. I have a deposit down for a GT3, and this centre lock replica computer screen cleaner looks like a pretty neat paper weight to look at.

If you don't want it, I'll gladly take it off you.....haha.

Pretty neat gift, though how about over a option for 18" 5 lugs.

I can already hear the complaints that there isn't enough 'feel' as you clean the screen.

I tried mine, and it works great if you turn it left, unfortunately it fell off when I turned right.

The other problem is that I can't find the other 3 that I need for safe operation of the vehicle!

In all honesty, it is kinda cool but I wont let it touch my screens, I will use it as a neat paperweight.
