Lug nut question
 

Ok, I give up. What's the hole for? I would think for a locking device of some kind. Have the PO's lost them or tossed them? Thanks, Fritz

Yeah, they're from the wheel locks. You can just replace them with regular used one or leave them alone.

If you have fuchs or frequent a bad area you might want to consider getting wheel locks. If they're cookie cutters or phone dials I wouldn't worry about it.

LOL don't give up ,you got three part to a locking lug.First the lug (which has a hole in it) second -the locking barrel & finally the cap that goes on top of it to hide the key hole.Most peoples toss the barrel away just keeping the lug with the hole in it since if you happen to lose the key they're are SOB to take off.Follow the pics.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323296656.jpg#1 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323296691.jpg#2 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323296725.jpg #3

Thanks...You don't think cookie cutters are worth stealing??? Just bust'n yer
B%lls, LOL!!! Side note to you. Saw on the "What's wrong with this generation," thread. You're 18 and have three businesses going. GOOD for you! You ROCK! Fritz

Thank you!

What I ment was that you can practically buy another set of cookie cutters or phone dials for the cost of good wheel locks so it's a risk I run. It's an upfront cost vs savings thing in my mind. Plus think of the insurance check you could get for 4 Porsche wheels :D.

My 84 (alpine white) had cookie cutters. You would have to be stupid to want to rip off those wheels. The clearcoat was all checked and the black was faded and some of it was bubbling. Built-in anti-theft device.

Hell, where I live they think a Porsch(e) is something you sit out on in the summer time...LOL I knew what you ment. Not worried about them getting stolen. I've got an attack cat on the property. Do you think this cats fat?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323300156.jpg

Wheel locks ??!!!
 

These locks are a pain mine filled up with road crud (I live in the country)and when I fitted the key the covers would'nt budge,with my S2 wheels I could get them off,needless to say I took them all off.
I have had to break one off and they are'nt very strong,IMO if someone wants your wheels they will get them.
