Cool New Invention by Ralph Boothe!!

Ralph just came up with this new tire holder, it works great! Just screw the holder in at the 12'o clock position and slide the wheel right on to the hub, no need to use your feet, teeth and kitchen sink to hold the wheel in place.

call Ralph to get one $20 .. he has them for Porsche & BMW

Sorry for the lousy pics

MKW is infamous around these parts
Isn't something like this part of the std tool kit since Porsche started using wheel bolts ( vs nuts ) ?
( Would be nice if he made one for MBZs , too , since they don't have this . )

You can either go to the hardware store and bring one
lug nut, and ask for a 6-inch lengh of bar stock just a
little narrower than the lug nut is at the threads. It
doesn't have to thread into the wheel. Just stick it in.
If you must, ask the store to thread it like the lug nut.

We always use these when changing wheels Kevin Good stuff...

Actually we are converting cars from the crappy bolts over to wheel studs instead.

Hey Kevin,

Did Ralph get any Cayenne chrome bolts in yet ? How about the no turn center caps for the Cayenne ?

Thanks
