Centrelocks always seem like more trouble than they're worth... and since I regularly swap between summer, winter and track rims, it would be a nightmare. :grin:

I'm not trying to propogate a myth, but the last time I saw a car running centrelocks, it came in a nice covered trailer, and the torque wrench had to live in the trailer as it didn't fit inside the car. And it took the mechanic quite a while to swap the rims.

I can swap all four rims on my car in fairly short order, using normal tools (and a torque wrench), but I'm practised at it.
