Default Red Center Lock Nuts

What shade of red are these? Similar to the red calipers? Lighter than that? Darker? If you say 'just like Carmine Red' you have made my day Thanks

I would love to do this too but I don't think they work for a 991. They are made for a 997.

I have them on my GTS. (Not my GTS below) Yeah they match the calipers pretty good. Don't know the name of the shade of red. If there is even a name.

I believe the Carrara GT has red centerlock nuts on one side, and blue on the other side. Does anybody know if this is true?

Optional on the 918 (black is standard).

Yeah me too. Just wondering how it would look on a Carmine Red GTS. Prob OK since -RYAN- said it is a close, if not the same, match to the red calipers.

The color from the picture makes it look a bit pink. Can anyone post pics that has these installed?

Guess I'll be doing this the first time I need to swap a tire. Does removing and reinstalling the nut scratch it up?
