Porsche service manager here. 🙋 Do yourself a favor and skip the center locks. If you're not going to the track with a full pit crew, they're nothing but an expensive pain in the ass. They actually take more time and effort to remove than normal lugs, require the use of a very expensive torque multiplier that nobody or any no non-dealer will have on hand for service needs, you need another person or a brake applicator "bar" to hold the brakes on hard when retorquing them, they have lock pins that fail and often go unnoticed by inexperienced owners, they require regular inspection and lubrication, they are made of metals that are extremely susceptible to fading from exposure to environmental conditions and the even the mildest of wheel cleaners, dealer techs hate them, and they're expensive wear items to replace at $350ish a pop with replacement intervals as part of the normal maintenance schedule. Bottom line is they look cool (until they fade and the teeth are inevitably managed from removal/reinstallation), but everything else about them sucks balls. Wait until you get a flat tire on a Saturday night in the middle of nowhere. You're really going to regret checking that box for the next 48 hours. Hard pass, even for a track rat like me.
