Is it possible to have alloy wheels with centre fixings instead of bolts like the option on the Porsche GT3?

You would have to see if anyone makes a 5 bolt to center lock conversion kit for the Emira. There may be something like that for the Evora, but I don't know if it would work for the Emira.Is it possible to have alloy wheels with centre fixings instead of bolts like the option on the Porsche GT3?
Just looking into various upgrades and hopefully learning more as I go. That sucks if it’s that hard to torque them back up because they look great.Why would you want this for matter of practicality, if you were to get a flat now you have to deal with a special adaptor and a 4 ft torque wrench ?

Mind when would I ever be changing a wheel if I don’t have a spare?
Who doesn't have a 5k centerlock ratchet?
I probably won’t end up doing it but I still think they look good and no intention to try and imitate a face car.If the Emira had centerlocks I wouldn't be buying the car at all unless there was a 5 lug conversion.
I'm not here to flex on people about my fake race car.

Why would you be flexing on people about your fake race car? I don’t think most people would read that deeply into it and wouldn’t bat an eyelid what wheel fixings you have.
I’m not a big wing fan but if someone added one I’d just think it was their preference and wouldn’t think they are making me think it’s a race car.
I’m not doing it because of the cost mainly as I have a lot of other plans. I think we will just have to disagree on the flex part because I’m more of a whatever the owner likes is fine because they have to drive it. If I was worried about what people thought I wouldn’t have bought an Emira and have already had someone comment they are for people who only want to show off. Just as well I couldn’t afford a La FerrariThe majority of the centerlock on a street car (or even amateur track car) is for the flex. It looks like a race car for no other purpose of looking like one. The reality is limited wheel selection, increased complexity and cost in replacement wheel hubs/bearings, increased complexity in wheels on-off the car. It's just a whole lot of time and money for zero real benefit.
Harbor Freight version for $800 with a 20% coupon though...Who doesn't have a 5k centerlock ratchet?
At least they're real centerlocks vs fake bolt on rims.If the Emira had centerlocks I wouldn't be buying the car at all unless there was a 5 lug conversion.
