Cool, just don't lose that several thousand dollar torque multiplying wrench that comes in your toolkit. I think those torque somewhere in the 250-300 lb*ft range.

One question:
What model is that? Surely that isn't the base with the pccb's and the center locks. That definitely has to be some turbo/gt2 variation. Any zoomed out photo?

Not much dish in those wheels. Not sayin' that's a bad thing, just sayin'.
(I'll have to give the 'exotic' nod to a GT2 RS with centerlocks. That is a sweet, sweet ride)

Where's PWD to point out the superiority of Mustangs? What's this place coming to?
Hella sweet rims. Porsche just keeps out-doing themselves, wish I could afford one.

Even if for nothing more than the ease of washing and/or removal. For the rest; maybe they'll be cool when a gravity cast version come out.

They are an option that started back in 2010. We have a 2010 turbo and a new GTS with them. Very cool but a roadside flat will need a tow truck, 7' breaker bar needed to loosen the bolt.

I would expect those to have some sort of nut locking mechanism other than just massive amounts of tightening torque.
Something under that center-cap, perhaps. ...likely the center-cap has some locking features on the backside. (?) Oh, and hasn't the CGT had those for a while now?
