The OEM Porsche lug bolts for the 718 are black regardless of the wheel colour, IIRC that was done to remind the installer that these bolts are to be torqued to 118 ft-lbs. (Silver grey are 96 ft-lbs.)
And yes they scuff/chip and look a little worn after only a few R&R's

So silver or platinum wheels also use black lug bolts?
These (from Suncoast) are for wheels with spacers, but the price isn't too bad...for bolts lol
Those are not OEM Porsche wheel bolts, easy to tell from the price... way too cheap! Here are the OEM ones:
Yes, the standard Porsche wheel bolt is M14x1.5x29mm, and yes both the factory Silver and Platinum Satin wheels use black bolts.
I use the factory black bolts with my OEM Platinum Satin wheels although they look just as good with the Acer Titanium wheel bolts I use on my Forged One FF10's (pictured below).
Careful adding Titanium bolts into steel threads. Titanium has twice the friction coefficient compared to steel so the chance of galling a fastener is greatly increased
I have the one on the right. I’ve used it on my 991.2, 992, and will use it on the Boxster. I have thrown it in the washing machine, too, so it’s held up nicely.
I had forgotten to get this, thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for sharing. Looks great.
I really want a cover for outside rust only really protects from the sun. Do these indoor covers protect from the Sun /UV ?

I do all of my own wheel swaps, every bolt and thread gets checked every time and in the 7+ years have noted no problems when Titanium was used with the iron rotors. For the last 2+ years and used with the PCCB Brakes on the Spyder, again no visible galling.

do you put anti-seize on the Ti bolt ?
Is it recommended ?
Ive been looking for a Chalk fob cover. Link Please?
Found them on AliExpress.com
Just search for “Porsche key fob case” and many choices will come up. These are Chinese companies, so buyer beware. Delivery is slow.
