I've never seen 'em on a Beetle. Would you be doing this on a Porsche brake setup?

Seems like a cool idea. I know a few companies make kits for the 911 and I've seen them on a 944 turbo racecar before at VIR. From what I understand, those things need to be torqued close to 400 ft/Ibs according to the factory Porsche and Ferrari applications. Is there a particular wheel you have in mind?

This past July I went to this shop:

He was working on a centerlock kit. The prototypes looked pretty good. Check out the site.
