Saw a thread on here a while ago and can't find it now about the best place to buy red centre locks to replace the dull grey ones that come as standard. Seems like in the US they are $ for £ (around 800) so looks like the best place to source but just wondered if others had any tips (or any for sale!)...?

Thanks.

They were standard on my car, so presumably Porsche will do them. Also, if you check any of the American Porsche mags they have several aftermarket available in red.

Yes - thank you! smile

The thread quotes £290 + freight which seems really cheap. Best I can get to is around £450 + freight... anyone any better ideas/options?

Carnewal supplied mine . Great service and a good price for oem wheel nuts. I plan them for white wheels and red centres
to match the calipers . Should look good I hope.

Just make sure they are the new 600 nm torque specification . Some come with full internals , some just the nuts.

The red ones are only the nuts, i.e. no cones etc, so you have to use your own.
