How to set a centerlock wheels system?
Every center lock nut breaks apart into 6 to 7 pieces which include O-rings, gaskets and various other parts that need to be oiled by using specific oil that is advised for Porsche and put back together with care whenever you take out the nut. As Ferrari, Porsche, Gumperts, hosers, they all use a center lock instead of a 5 bolt pattern. No the question is that;
- What are the actual benefits of this system?
- Would they be lighter than having 5 smaller bolts?
- Fast speed of removal instead of 4 or 5 bolts wheels.
