    New Porsche RS Spyder Design Wheels with Central Locking Announced

    Porsche has announced a new 19-inch wheel featuring the design pattern derived from the victorious Le Mans series RS Spyder prototype race car.

    Exclusively for the 911 Turbo, this wheel set features a special central locking system which allows the wheels to be firmly mounted directly to the wheel bearing instead of the multiple lug nuts commonly used in motorsports.

    Included with the forged aluminum lightweight wheel set are special wheel bearings made up of a cartridge fitted in the wheel hub with spring-mounted security bolts.

    The new wheel set will be available as a 911 Turbo option starting in January 2009. Base price for Euro countries is EUR 2,950. The retail price in Germany including 19 per cent VAT is EUR 3,510.50.

      Would love to have these on my car. It's a BBS split spoke design, no? Looks like the BBS RC

          I think ghoonk got it right... it's most likely BBS rims... modified look of the RC versions, similar to the CSL

              BBS is more or less the sole vendor for LTW racing wheels professional applications, O.Z. comes to mind next.
