    Know a guy who works at a Ferrari dealership in Salt Lake. They had a 599XX delivered there and serviced in preparation for the Ferrari Challenge race at Miller Motorsports park. He didn't get pictures, but said that there are drive pins on the hub.

    I'm curious as well. It would appear that the 599 GTO that I ordered has 5 lugs instead of the center lock.

    That's just an ordinary, run of the mill 599. The 599XX is a track-version, hence the center locks. I guess if you want to drive yourself to the track that car is OK, but I prefer to be flown in on my private helicopter and have the car gassed and waiting for me.

    Here are some GT3 center locks. Looks like a system of pins.

    I hot linked this picture, then clubbed a baby seal.

    Check out Forgeline.com. They make real centerlock conversions for almost any car.

    been there.. done that. My first car was a VW bug with lug bolts... 120lbs of me on a ten foot bar... bounced me, but did not break the bolts. Wound up taking the drums off and wheeling them down to the local gas station to have the guys there use the impact wrenches..

    and it still took a LOT of effort on their part
