Hi,

Does anyone have a suggestion for changing centerlock nuts (cover only if possible) from Black to Silver?
Was thinking about anodizing or polishing, or even trading someone! I just want to get 2 - not all 4.

Or anyone have TWO available in silver, or want to trade 2 silver for 2 black?

Correct, on the PET there's only one part number for the nuts, 991.361.081.90. I have the silver wheels with black caps and nuts. Same part number for the .1's and .2's.

There's been a few guys that have run the 997 red nuts on 991s, not that I would do it.

Wouldn't be surprised. This is the excerpt from the shop manual. So this is what Porsche says.

"The 911 Turbo (991) can be supplied with a central bolt as an optional extra.

A central bolt is provided as standard with the 911 GT3 (991). In terms of its design, the bolt is similar to that on the 911 Turbo (991). The colours of the wheels and the wheel bolts may be different. The design of the wheel drivers is also different.

The wheel bolt -2- is identical for all four wheels (right thread).
The lockable wheel bolt -4- is an assembly (only available as a whole) whose splines engage in the wheel hub -7-

on one side and in the wheel bolt -2- on the other (if activated).

The lockable wheel bolt -4- can be pulled out of the wheel hub -7- once the wheel bolt -2- has been removed. For safety reasons, only remove the lockable wheel bolt -4- in order to check it and then re-insert it immediately in the wheel hub -7- .

Before fitting the wheel, check that the lockable wheel bolt -4- is functioning properly. Under no circumstances use the 997 lockable wheel bolt on the 991!

The contact surfaces of the wheel on the brake disc -6- must be clean and free of any grease or paint.
Wheel driver -5- (5 ea.) consisting of driving pin, sleeve and self-locking screw. Only one set (5 ea./for one wheel)

is available as a spare part.

Five new wheel drivers -5- (1 set) must be fitted when replacing the brake disc. Does not apply to 911 GT3. Tightening torque for self-locking screws:
M6x30 (911 Turbo) = 14 Nm / M8x32 (911 GT3) = 31 Nm

I'm really confused - how are some people running 997 silver nuts on the 991 if the threads aren't the same? If the spindles are a different size, would it still fit, but just require a different shaped too to remove the wheels?

And if others got it to work - isn't it safe?
