I have rebuilt many wheels before. little tip ALWAYS use NEW hardware and perf OEM bolts/washers/nuts. That last thing you want is for those bolts comeing lose on the track. I have seen it happen many times. most wheels get tq @ around 8ft lbs so i would check with porsche. Yes the tq pattern is the "star"pattern. another tip mark each one after you tq hand tight first.

If he used a 13mm socket the bolt is most likely a 8mm. All the bolts that I've so far found on these cars that use a 10mm socket (aside from one on the trans linkage) are M6 bolts, and all the ones that use a 13mm socket are M8.

I'm still polishing one rim. All four centers are done and cleared. I have new stainless steel hardware coming in tomorrow from Fastenal. I have since discovered that Wurth has something closer to stock for the hardware. I'll post final pics on the wheels on the car in about a week when it's all done.
