991 GT3 Promo I got from Porsche..some questions

[RDMcG]

A fairly heavy package arrived last week. Inside , a black box, inside that a circular metal container holding a GT3 Centre lock nut.

Well...a centre lock laptop/smart screen cleaner. It raised some questions for me...

(1) Is there a five-stud version?

(2) Can it fall off and shatter my computer screen?

(3) How can Porsche supply it without the four foot torque wrench to tighten in back in its container?...my request for the wrench has gone strangely unanswered...

Has anyone experienced any issues yet? Scared to take it out for a test run if there is any sort of recall...........................

Nice ;-)

On a serious note, is that a real nut or a plastic mould? I ask because I'm curious to see what they've changed on the new style ones.

..Keep it in the car when it comes, and you're sure to have a spare for when the one on the car falls off..

I don't get anything more exciting than an email from Porsche

If you take the piss they'll probably stop sending you little gifts.

What an awesome object to have. Do any of you know if you actually need to buy a GT3 in order to receive that? Is there another way to get Porsche promotional stuff? I sent a lot of emails to Porsche parts dealers asking them to sell me a broken, used or damaged GT3/GT2 center lock nut if they have any, but I guess it's unlikely that someone would actually say yes.

I have a genuine 997.2 centre lock but that came with a Porsche coin tray. It retails for something ridiculous but I got it cheap with a bit of haggling ;-)

Thanks! Looks amazing, but that's quite some money though...
