BBS whells would work well for you. The bolt pattern is an option. They are MADE for center locks. Watch a little ALMS when on TV next.

The whole centerlock conversion will cost you a little over $4K.

What is involved. Is it hub or do you have to replace rotors also?

i have centerlocks. parts are available from porsche racing. i am using fikse wheels both for the street and for the track. i don't believe that you can use wheels that are already drilled on centerlocks as there is no thrust washer. also you will need a separate 32mm socket and a torqe multiplier to use with a torque wrench.

I have spoken to Porsche racing in Australia and they say no one has put centerlocks on a 996 turbo which is rubbish. They also say that GT3 cup car hubs will not fit. This is why I need some help.

I think 9ff sells all the parts required to change it over to centerlocks also. They make centerlock wheels...so it would make sense.

Actually I got mine from BBS USA cause they were in stock and FVD had to ordr them. So BBS does have them bro! I think they were about a littl under a hundred a piece.
