Rossi:

I think it's only a matter of time until we will seee more centre locking wheels. Remember when carbon-ceramic-brakes were brand new? Everybody was moaning how difficult it will be to change wheels and not damage those brake discs, I think it's the same with the centre locking wheels. All will get used to them quite quickly, the more cars you will see with them. Smiley

The secret of life is to admire without desiring.

 

According to our sources at Porsche, the center lock wheel issues are actually a thing of the past, all dealers are informed and mechanics trained to deal with these wheels accordingly. 

It is also not necessary to buy the torque wrench necessary to change the wheels (removing is possible through the wrench inside the car) because, especially in Europe, every Porsche dealer has one available. This could however be a problem in areas with only few Porsche dealers, like for example in the US where buying such a torque wrench may be a wise thing to do to have it handy when a tire change is necessary.
