I will concede that the centerlocks look very cool.
I love these wheels you did for Savyboy's Boxster Spyder!

I don't think the centerlocks are harder to deal with. After changing wheels I can see that with more practice they will be easier and quicker. Need the right tools (very important), understand the socket will sometimes need to be popped on with some authority to unlock the centercaps and loosten all first while the car is on the ground. Then its just a matter of raising up one side at a time and changing wheels, finish checking torque when the car is back on the ground. 4 centercaps to torque instead of 20 lug nuts.
