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.

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

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

EDIT: I went to the mechanic for a helicoil insert, they were out of M7, they should get them in and problem should be solved. Thanks for all the help! Hi all, Just got a set of 996 gt3 rims, one of the small titanium bolts on the outer rim is broken. I did a one over to make sure all is in order but sadly this is the case. How safe/unsafe is it to drive with one of the bolts stripped. Thansk!

POST 2Original post

I won’t risk it on a highway but around town np

POST 3Original post

I'd be asking myself how in the world that happened. Then I'd be checking every other bolt on all 4 wheels.

POST 4Original post

Is the bolt threads stripped or is the bolt broken? It shouldnt take much to helicoil the hole. In the mean time i doubt 1 bad bolt would hurt anything for normal street driving.

POST 5Original post

^^^ This ^^^� Or, the proper/professional way to do it would be to disassemble the wheel, weld the hole, drill and re-tap for the correct fastener.

That's not what you told me when I pointed out I had two broken ones at the track! You said there's still a lot of bolts holding it together, go for it.

POST 7Original post

So this thread reminded me about my broken bolts. Took about 5 minutes to get it out.
