Stevie G Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I’m a newbie to the boxster game and I’m loving my (new to me) 987. However, I’ve taken my wheels to be refurbed and they’ve told me that my nuts are rotten..(excuse the pun)! I need to get a complete set including locking nuts. Any recommendations. Thanks in advance👊🏾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thy are about 7£ each various Porsche specialists sell them. Check with the OPC first they might be reasonably priced sometimes they can be surprisingly competitive. Actually just checked Design 911 and they are £3.75 reduced! https://www.design911.com/Porsche/Boxster-986-987-981/Boxster-S-981-34L-2012--/Wheel-Bolts/pt179_434_-cma81-cmo82-ct1741/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 The Techworlddirect ones on eBay are fine. Correct floating collars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 It will be the collars that have corroded. Design 911's price looks good as above. Could also try Frazerpart and do a Google search for 987 wheel bolts - lots of options including full sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcacogp Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 It's the collars that corrode and fail - the bolts are always fine. Is there any way of just replacing the collars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim b Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The collars are crimped on, you would need the use of a Lathe if doing this yourself. I did mine last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Even doing the collars DIY for at seem to make much sense when you can get a full set for quite cheap. I can't imagine you would save much if anything sourcing and buying the collars as separate items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
