I've taken the plunge and ordered a set, although I think I might wait until the spring to put them on.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Planning to replace the very tatty wheel bolts on my 2003 MY C4. Not just aesthetics but the seating rings are corroded and pitted too. Design 911 have a complete set of 16 x bolts and 4 x locking bolts made by McGard. They certainly look much better than the original and appear more durable. Anyone have any experience of McGard wheel bolts or any comments to offer? Many thanks

POST 2Original post

Hi - How much for this pack? Mine are a bit worse for wear. Had McGuards on my Aston, no problem whatsoever, well made stuff and didnt corrode in the time I had the car. If they are good value I will probably buy some with you - please send a link Cheers

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Thanks for your reply....if they're good enough for an Aston, they should cut the mustard on a Porsche. Full cost is £166.79 including VAT and delivery. I've taken the plunge and ordered a set, although I think I might wait until the spring to put them on.

POST 4Original post

I have had McGuards on both my 911s for a few years - look nearly as good now as the day I bought them. Dave Jones

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Dave, that's reassuring to know. By the way, did you put Optimoly TA on the threads? Porche handbook says to, but McGard say use them dry.

POST 6Original post

"did you put Optimoly TA on the threads?" No, dry - but not because I know that is the most appropriate. Dave J
