Any regular lurkers here will probably know that the general sentiment in this sub towards PCCB and center lock wheel is pretty negative as they are seen as nothing more than a marketing ploy from Porsche with no real benefits and is a pretty stupid options to choose.
Like, if you prefer lug nuts and steel brakes for whatever reason then you do you really. It’s your car. But when you start calling people stupid for choosing Ceramic Brakes and Center Lock rims then you are just being a hypocrite and an ass.
People keep saying that there are no real benefits of Ceramic Brakes and Center Lock wheel on and off tracks, and in fact makes it harder for maintenances. That might be true. But you know what? Some people don’t care about those things. They just want what looks cool to them. And when you think about it, there really is no real reason why anyone need to buy a sportscar in the first place. It’s a bad financial decision. Encouraging risky and illegal behaviour. It’s also pretty bad for environment. Also annoys your neighbour.
But we get them anyway because we like them and that’s all there is to it. Same goes for whatever options people choose on their car. So it’s really hypocritical when people here try to tell others why they are not supposed to like ceramic brakes and centerlock wheels. Just make ya’ll seems like an angry vocal reddit car nerds with strong opinion honestly.
So yeah, tone down with the echochamber and let people enjoy what they like.
People can buy what “looks cool to them” and that’s fine. Aerokits are another example. But the made-up lies defending those two options are silly. You didn’t mention any so I have no beef with your decisions.
But, ceramic brakes do not stop a car in shorter distances. Braking is tire limited in Porsches. You will never detect the difference in un-sprung weight. Yes the yellow calipers are cool.
Center locks in a non-race care are unsafe because untrained people cannot maintain them properly. Eventually you will need to have a tire changed at a non-Porsche shop. Look sporty? Yes.
Center locks is not some voodoo magic you know.
Any shop with a long wrench and a few guys can service it. The socket comes with the car.
And the yahoo lube/tire tech you get towed to after picking up a nail in bumblefuck south carolina is going to throw that socket on his ugga dugga gun and fuck everything up by turning shit the wrong way.
I can feel the unsprung weight. Drove one with and without pccb and I could tell very clearly on corner entry when steering.
Bwahahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some people certainly will.
