They'll just take the whole car........

That's a whole different level of complexity. There's been wheels stolen from my condo property. They don't need to be more sophisticated than a impact gun and a floor jack.

Technically correct, but does it really matter on a car that weighs 3850+lbs? Yeah, yeah I understand its unsprung weight, but how much is it actually saving? And you better have optioned carbon-ceramics first as im sure the unsprung weight savings there is more significant. Overall it seems like more of a flex than anything on a car that is anything but lightweight.

You know how you make a car lighter, right? You use lighter parts. 💡

So...
~200lbs needed to break it loose with a 6ft long breaker bar? Doable
And ~100lbs to tighten it with a 6ft long torque wrench? LOL, sure

IMO the only reason to go with the centerlocks would be if you happened to already have a torque wrench similar hytorc or just had an extra $5k burning a hole in your pocket. It's already painful on the Porsche GT cars and why many either opt for the 5 lug at purchase or convert later.

Yep, the crapiest Porsche option ever, can’t use spacers, wheels are more expensive, very few options, most places won’t stock them, when going to the strip you grow a new pair of balls.

I could write a book, I’ll never buy another Porsche with center locks, I don’t care what anybody says, I own a 991.2 turbo, and I have dealt with the most idiotic situations with the center lock. Be sure to always carry that huge torque wrench, you will need it…
