HI Guys,

Trying to figure out what are the right bolts for the HRE wheels on my 997. I ordered BOlts from VIVID RAcing and I basically received bolts that are made like the stock bolts I had on my S wheels. THe problem with those is that they stick out way too much because of the sleeve type of thing under the bolt head. When I look at the HRE Gallery it seems like the bolts sit way lower.

Can anyone tell me what to order or what to tell the guy at vivid racing?

 

Check with Wheel Enhancements (board sponsor). They have been very responsive and quite knowledgeable with several wheel questions I have had.

 

Using the serial number off the back of the wheels you can look it up with HRE and get the exact bolts you need. Let me know if you need my help.

 

I bought these for my car, and they worked fine, I have C97 H.R.E

The bolt on the right is the correct Porsche bolt. I looked into this a while ago and was told do not accept other style of bolts...I was really confused by this as well.

There is a lot of confusion out there too.

 

I was told the same, but they have the car looking retarded, I purchase a set off the internet and they are fine, no complaints. Hey mdrums which wheels do you have, thanks in advance

 

These are some of the best out there in terms of quality.

I agree, I wish I would have seen these before......great find

 

What you basically need is a bolt that looks like this. Still a ball seat, but the seat is much closer to the bolt head. This way it won't stick out as far. Contact WheelsJ....they'll hook you up.

 

Its the ball seat one on the right in your pic. I use CCW for the track...not pretty but forged strong and well reguarded with race teams and track guys.

 

Thanks guys. HRE solved the issue for me. I gave them the serial number and they said i needed conical lug bolts for my wheels.

 

I knew they would be able to help you out. Hopefully no other issues.
