No sir-not an issue that I know of but I dont want to take the chance if I can avoid it. Some kids are dumb now a days-I know that further down south and in Central Florida the OEM 19 inch wheels on the new Honda Accords get stolen like no tomorrow! My car stays in the garage but in the odd chance its outside overnight I dont want to take a chance. I also have family in Orlando-so if I drive the car up for a weekend it will be outside.

Rotor Set Screws
Hey guys, so I ordered new ECS Tuning wheel spacers for my 991.2 5mm rear, 12mm front. They came with new rotor set screws to hold spacers in place, are these absolutely necessary to use? I can’t seem to get the old set screws off the rotors! Any tips/info much appreciated

Use the correct screwdriver/bit to remove them or you will strip them. I can't imagine them being that corroded on a car as new as a 991.2

Yeah they’re pretty bad unfortunately. I have 50k miles and I drive my 911 through winter, salt, snow, etc. I’ve corroded wastegate rods in the past along with other parts, I’m thinking an impact screwdriver might do the trick. If not, not sure what else to try

Use an impact driver with the correct bit. Those screws essentially keep the rotor aligned to hub before wheel bolts are added.

IIRC what I had to do with one was use a screwdriver socket, knocked the driver into the screw with a hammer a couple times, than used a long ratchet to break it loose.
