Once You Go Black You NEVER Go Chrome!

They are back... Yes for those that have dark wheels and suffer from chromedomeboltitis, no more, we cure you. The black lugs are BACK INSTOCK! We released these lugs about 2 years ago and went through 100 sets to mainly 6speeders and we just finally got them back to make those ugly chrome or silver stock lugs go away.

The set of 20 wheel bolts replaces all your factory lug bolts and are the correct conical seat style for Porsche specific wheels. These are longer then stock bolts, and at 39mm in length, perfect for those that use spacers to ensure a safe amount of thread turns. The bolts are finished in a Gloss Black color that will not chip or scratch as they are powder coated. With proper torque on the 17mm bolt head, they will hold your wheels on securely. These lugs will fit all the new Porsche models including: Boxster, Cayman, 997 Carrera, 997 Turbo, 997 GT3, 996 Turbo, 996 Carrera, 996 GT3. All Agency Power products come with a LIMITED LIFETIME warranty.

With the different coefficient of friction between the hub and powdercoated bolt surface, what torque spec do you recommend?

My UK OEM bolts are 19mm, are US spec cars different, or is the 17mm particular to your product?

Also, your bolts have the conical end built into the bolt where as mine are a seperate piece which fits over the bolt - I'm assuming you went for this option for ease and cost, can you tell me how the powdercoat stands up here?

I'd be interested if there's a discount for 6speeders. Do I sense a group buy?

If you go shop online with your mobile phone, there is a discount code. Wont tell you it, you got to pull up Vivid Racing on your smartphone

Yes the OEM heads are 19mm, we went with a 17mm for some wheel bolt holes are smaller and this made the product easier to work with a variety of wheels. Torque would be the same as stock. Yes the OEM is a 2 piece bolt. We did our previous batch and this batch as a 1 piece bolt and they work great. The finish also holds up.
