101000 A Quick Guide To Center Lock Wheels

A Quick Guide To Center Lock Wheels



For a road car, center lock wheels are unnecessary and expensive. People will claim a performance advantage as a center-locking arrangement means less rotational mass, but as center-locking nuts need to be stronger, hence thicker, than lug nuts, the weight loss will be (if there is any) negligible outside of a race car.

There are also claims that it will allow larger rotors, and center lock rotors are a thing. The only real difference is how quickly a wheel and tire can be changed, and the cost of a center lock wheel conversion runs thousands of dollars before you buy the tools and wheels to fit.

In reality, center lock wheels are all about show and not go on a road car. If that’s worth the money and hassle, then go for it. Center-locking wheels do look good as part of a tastefully modified car.
