Cheapest place for wheel bolts?

[m33ufo]

Where's the cheapest place for some new wheel bolts - 997 short bolts? I want to get rid of my locking wheel bolts and there are also a few slightly rusty ones. They're around £5 ea. from Porsche!!

nice I need a winter set of wheels

:-)

that said direct off my OPC was the cheapest.

Design 911 are pretty good for these things...also you may want to consider putting the new 991 black bolts on - they look better and as you say doesn't take long before the steel ones start to rust. I got mine from an OPC minus my 10% PCGB discount think was around £120ish for full set and locking nuts...put them on my 997 Turbo

I'm sure if someone wanted to have it away with my wheels they wouldn't find the locking nuts much of a deterrent. I find them a pain so want to get shot of those. All standard bolts will be fine.

I'll check Design911, thanks.

opc is cheaper than design 911.

guess where design 911 buy from ?

I paid £20 less for black locking bolts than design 911 prices.

Since I'm changing the bolts, think it's worth going for a wheel spacer option too?

Why not. It'll save buying another set of bolts if you decide to fit them at a later date.

depends what you want

I have 7mm spacers only at the front to widen the front track and help turn in.

the ricers like 15mm on the rear to look cool as they love understeer :-)

Nothing too OTT. Was probably thinking 5mm or 7mm all round.

I have 15mm on the rear of the 996 and 5mm on the front. No understeer issues (geo is spot on) but I think th efront would look better with wider ones.
