I have recently purchased a set of black wheels. My problem is that I have studs in the rear hubs. Also, I would like your black bolts better if they were built in the porsche configuration. Do you have any plans to do some that way?

We had a set of new Porsche OEM lugs PVD coated black, seem to be holding up quite well.

Dan,

Porsche makes 2 lug bolt configurations for my car. The short one (gold ball washer) and the long one (red washer.) This floating washer has a very specific radius that mates precicely with the recess in the Porsche wheel and with properly made after-market wheels. This allows you to torque with pressure and rotation on the floating washer instead letting the steel face of a bolt designed like yours to spin in the wheel recess as it is achieving the tightness. The washer both protects the wheel and provides for more consistent torque values.

Not trying to burn ya' down but merely stating things that I believe to be true.

Some of the after-market lug bolts have a radius that is off by a few degrees (not saying your are) and this won't allow full-on contact with the wheel. They don't hold torque as well. In fact, I have a friend who used bolts such as these and one day as we were walking together in the pits he saw a bolt on the grid surface and said I wonder who lost this? Turns out he was the rightful owner.

Good observation. They made these off of a stock lug. Will report back soon.

I will be a buyer if you do it the "Porsche way." Might look pretty cool if you offered some with OEM red washers. It appears you already have good length for the bolt.

Boothe Design - Ralph is an old-school Porsche guy and great to talk to. I got the black chrome wheel bolts a couple years ago and was very impressed with the quality.
