I went to the dealership this weekend (Boardwalk Porsche/Audi - Plano, TX). They're nice there (No charge! $). The were able to get my locking lugs on the rear tires -no special tools required. They even zip-tied my parking brake lines (even though they said the gap [distance from the wheel to the brake line] was fine).

These replicas must be pretty accurate... both the service advisor & the technician were suprised these weren't Porsche wheels!

Also, as per RandallNeighbour's request, 100+ runs did not reveal any steering wheel shaking. And the only time I've noticed the ride to be more rough (so far) when compared to 17" wheels is going over bumps and potholes that suck with any sized wheel.

And speeking of speed runs, does a speedometer need to be recalibrated when different sized wheels are used? My speedometer(s) seem/feel inaccurate.
