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

I hear this is a common problem for Porsches. My fronts have started to rust and it does not look too good. Does anyone know how to prevent/fix this without replacing the nuts?

POST 2Original post

This was a common warranty replacement. Not sure as of July 1st. But you must be out of warranty anyway. Jeff

POST 3Original post

or maybe the perfect time to add 5mm spacers all around!! enjoy

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hahah... so how do you like the 5-spokes so far?

POST 5Original post

I am thinking of getting 5mm spacers for all 4 corners. Are you happy with yours and where did you get them?

POST 6Original post

Andy, i got mine from the same place that did my wheels ( wheel enhancement here in los angeles). these were not Porsche OEM, but given their reputation (wheel enhancement) i'm sure they're just fine, and a bit less expensive than the genuine Porsche parts. i think Booth Design (6speedonline.com sponsor) does a hecuva job in the spacers market, maybe one of the best. i'd give him a holler, he is very prompt in his response times. here is the website http://www.boothedesign.com/spacers.html i would have got mine thru him but it was easier having it done when the wheels were put on. regards

happier than a pig in a blanket! thanks for asking Silver.

POST 8Original post

I just had my lugnuts replaced a couple of weeks ago because they were rusting. For me it was under warranty. You might try and see if the dealer will give you a break.
