Default center lock wheels and hub?

why has nobody made a conversion kit for this car yet? this is a pretty common mod in the //M community. it wouldn't serve much of a purpose other than to be unique, but i'd totally like to see a vendor offer it.

i would say quite the opposite. what kinda wheel thief is gonna wanna go purchase a 1-off socket to remove those? considering most come with the center lug kits themselves, thats highly unlikely. i mean, a set of sockets can remove any wheel you want with normal lug nuts.

Not to mention, center locks are typically torqued to like 180 ft lbs with one of these



i would LOVE to see your average wheel thief tackle one of these

I would love to get center locking wheels, but the price is a bit steep.
