Lug Nuts
Can anybody reccommend a good lug nut?
The ones that i got from Porsche seem to be very weak.Yes, I have only torqued them to about 96 ft lbs., but they still feel weak and i wouldn't mind getting something a little more stylish (if that's possible)and I said stylish not gaudy like some of those "other" cars out there. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

Try Wheel Enhancement. They do a lot of Porsche wheel swaps and are familiar with various products. Remember, most of the OEM Porsche lug nuts are made from special aluminum alloy and are VERY lightweight. This is intentional in an attempt to reduce unsprung weight. They are very strong though and you should not have any problem regularly torqueing them to 102-105 pounds.
