Gotta say, this is a great thread - been doing plenty of research on the CL's for the Turbo as an option since I'm ordering one.


My GTS has the CL's but I haven't had any flat tires yet either, so not really an issue, plus I live close to the dealer.


My Turbo will see an occasional track day but with the std brakes I really question if CL's will be necessary, that being mostly a street car. Sounds like I can save the $3800 on this option!


Both the std Turbo wheel and the CL wheel are one-piece forged. The CL wheels are 1/2" wider, and I bet when all is said and done, these wheels are very similar in weight.

 

Missed this thread. I do not understand the fascination German car makers have with lug bolts as they make a one man job challenging. I had studs put on my '13 S and that helped a lot.

As to center locks, I have a rubber floor in my garage so I pull the car onto the paved area and have no problem doing changes front or rear with my monster torque wrench. As my car is track only the big advantage I see is not having to re-torque the wheels between sessions as locked is locked vs the S which required constant re-torquing.

 

 

All good so far with CL wheels...
