Pics: Porsche's road going centrelock rims

[Mr Messy]

First seen as a US-based option on the new 911 Turbo, porsche have made centrelock rims standard for the new GT3. Is this legal in Australia? Could these eventually be fitted to a dub?

I reckon the optional spyder centrlocks for the Turbo are very attractive. Pics.

The wheels are an extra-cost option available for the Turbo in Australia - so yes they are legal for sale and use here.

I believe they are only a factory-order option rather than dealer-installed Tequipment at the moment, though this will likely change as the hubs become more widely available.

The RS spyder wheels are utterly gorgeous and I wouldn't put them on a dub, lol. Waaaaay too pricey.
