New wheel bolts
I have the original wheel bolts on my 968 (think they are magnesium) and they are looking tired and rounded. Can someone suggest a relaible supplier of new bolts and rough prices please? I need 4 sets. TIA.

Re: New wheel bolts
Assuming the 968 uses wheel nuts the same as a 944 then the nuts are aluminium & the studs are steel. This is why it is critical to use a torque wrench on them. Wheel nuts vary in price but worth trying all the normal soures including OPC. When I looked they weer around £3 each.

Re: New wheel bolts
I just bought a set of 15mm spacers from design 911 and it came with a set of nuts, £100 all in! Looks cheap now.
