As the name proposes, these wheels interface with the center point through a solitary, gigantic haul in the focal point of the wheel, as opposed to the ordinary five more modest ones. However, as opposed to the average carry bolt force spec of around 85-90 lb-ft, BMW says the middle locks require 686 lb-ft (930 Nm). So you better have a major breaker bar close by if you have any desire to trade these wheels at home.
