Fuchs Wheels Question
Does anyone know if Porsche makes the Fuchs wheel in a center lock? Just curious! Thanks

Dont believe so. Definitely not OEM, maybe a replica manufacturer.

I am sure there are several forged wheel companies that could make one.

Tossing the idea around as kind of a weird fun thing, but not going to do it. I looked at them and not quite what I was hoping for. They dont look 100% like the originals, plus it may just look terrible haha.

The Center lock version of our forged FP.1 wheel is in FEA testing right now, and the wheels will be out soon. The center lock hubs are significantly larger so the wheel needs to be redesigned a little but to make it work and pass test. Here's a quick sneak peek of the front wheel:

Senna is an unknown quantity at this point
Are you guys doing track test? I would be happy to do R&D at Senring for ya. Just send me a free set. LOL. If you guys want more test done on the hardest track I know a few people that would be willing to try it. Not sure if that helps...
