    Started looking for a daily driver and I'm new to some Porsche details. I found a 2012 911 C4S with light-alloy wheels. Looks like single hub or is it a cover hiding 5 lug nuts? OZ Racing and the description is 8J x 19 Fr/11J x 19 Rr II Light-Alloy Wheels. Are these stock? They look great but any pros or cons? If I wanted a second winter tire set I'm guessing I'd have to get single hub wheels? Thanks.

    5 lug nuts hidden behind the "star"......likely that the star is removed by loosening the red central "nut". BBS used to use the same strategy in some of their older basketweave wheels. There should be a special socket wrench (usually plastic) included to loosen the red nut. Oz wheels would not be stock....

    These are actually pretty good wheels. Very light and didn't hear about any problems. Popular with autocross. Italian designed and made in Italy.

    They are fake centerlock. IIRC you can get other caps for the middle.

    The car is 5-lug.

    They look good on the car too. Found it on autotrader and it's at Leith Porsche. Love the color combo just not the right time to make an offer.

    Looks like an aftermarket wing, too. Not sure whether 997 had a sportdesign package like that.

    No, that is factory.

    The price is probably a bit lower because the original wheels are lost (and more expensive than the O.Z.). I guess that this car might have seen some autocross and have a couple of evidence nicks?

    Not the best looking factory wing that Porsche designed. But, definitely factory.

    Not stock wheels, nice though.
