Having been doing a lot of suspension work on my 914 of late, has necessitated unmounting and mounting my wheels repeatedly. Putting the hub-centric fronts back on is a piece of cake, but those damn lug-centric rears are always a pain to line up the lug nut holes, especially in the bright Florida sunshine. Is there a reason Porsche chose lug-centric for the rears? If there is, then I can more readily accept the aggravation they cause. Is there a hack to make it easier? Someone please educate me...Thanks.

I haven't tried them, but Tangerine offers a Hub Centering Ring that might help a bit. Here:
