My new center lock novitec wheels

porsche racer · Jun 23, 2007

I started my project with the exhaust (as most of us do) . I replaced my stock with the CS exhaust. Then, I went for the rims. I have got more to do.
And yes, lowering is next.

First, I want to send a big Thank You to Jason at "Exotica Motorsports" for providing the wheels and the tires for me.
Guys, if you ever get a chance just call Jason and he will give you the best price available. Thanks Jason for the great service.
And second, thanks to CEC wheels for installation (very professional)

Gorgeous. Very Enzo looking! Love the centre locking look! Very RACECAR

I know I may get shot for this but I think if you fitted cs skirts it would make them look even more sharp and tidy up the aerodynamic airflow around the rear wheels! Check out my 20 inch trafficstars for the look I achieved on my Modena..

How difficult was the center-locking conversion? What parts and how much? That's extremely cool.

Congrats Arthur. Wise choice. Did I have anything to do with your final decision? Here's a pic of mine with the centerlocks.

thanks Joe, I was debating between these and the BBS and since I couldn't get your BBS's I went with these. I always liked them. They have the new look. The rim looks bigger and cleaner compare to the five log nuts. They are expensive but we live only once, right??? and If I don't spend it my wife will anyway.
By he way Joe, how much did you lower it, one inch or less?

It's lowered about an inch. No rubbing issues. Just need to worry about the front overhang hitting curbs etc.

Ok...... I did a centerlock conversion on my Porsche GT2 - and there were tons of parts replaced and the cost was obsessive. I was in close to $15K before rubber.

Are Ferrari's different? More expensive? Less expensive?

very nice looks the bizz, it would be nice to know what was involved between the hub and wheel to convert

sezme · Jun 25, 2007

My question exactly. It isn't the wheels - they're easy. It's the carriers. hubs, rotors.........
