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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For those of you running spacers on your 996, what are you doing about wheel locks? I assume that if you go with the "standard" 7mm fronts and 15mm rears that you're not using the stock length wheel locks. Thanks

POST 2Original post

I run those sized spacers as well. In my case I swap wheels regularly for the track so I just got rid of the locks. They're a pain in the a$$ and I think stock rims are not on thieves radar, even in Miami.

POST 3Original post

yea, most people assume porsches have wheel locks. I think you will be fine without one. I run all aftermarket wheel studs and no locks because I had the type of locks we have. Rays Wheels makes light weight wheel lugs with an awesome style lock lug if you need one. IDK about fitment for our cars though. I had them on my m3

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! Guess ill go with no wheel locks and hope no one steals my wheels! Then again that's why you buy insurance too

POST 5Original post

they take away the litronics before taking your wheels....
