Porsche has announced a new 19-inch wheel featuring the design pattern derived from the victorious Le Mans series RS Spyder prototype race car.

Exclusively for the 911 Turbo, this wheel set features a special central locking system which allows the wheels to be firmly mounted directly to the wheel bearing instead of the multiple lug nuts commonly used in motorsports.

Included with the forged aluminum lightweight wheel set are special wheel bearings made up of a cartridge fitted in the wheel hub with spring-mounted security bolts.

The new wheel set will be available as a 911 Turbo option starting in January 2009. Base price for Euro countries is EUR 2,950. The retail price in Germany including 19 per cent VAT is EUR 3,510.50.
