The caliber of clients J&B gets and the work that they do is unreal. Nothing like pulling up in a 911 and having one of the cheapest cars in the shop.

Burning Brakes
About .75 lbs. Like I said, silly, but cool (in my head anyway...).
I know there was a "no" posted already, but I can only speak from my personal experience. I've used titanium bolts for well over 10+ years on over half a dozen cars, with at least a 1-2 track days a year and lots of weekend spirited canyon drives. I've never had an issue. With that said, I check them regularly given I probably remove all wheels at least once a quarter to clean rust and grime from the hubs and brake calipers. So when the wheels come off, I inspect them carefully and have never seen any signs of stretching and/or fatigue.
Ironically, as soon as burn through these pilot sport cup 2's, I plan on resetting with new black BBS FI R wheels. Also, do know that they will darken slightly over time. They are exceptionally "shiny" when new. They do offer a "darkened" version, but paying extra for that seemed even sillier to me than my already silly initial purchase.

I used the previous gen. torque setting of 96 ft./lbs. to account for the anti-seize compound I added to part of the threads. If you go dry, just use 118 ft./lbs. per the manual.

Like these, but Silver? If so I bought mine from this ebay seller: fanyongmei18@163.com and they came Silver but I had them painted. Or you can find some here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...991+trim+rings
Thanks. 😀

I had J&B respray the front end, and so my expectation is it will look brand new. I bought the car with 29k on it, never had PPF, and with it being black, and living in an area where we have lots of sand and lifted Dodge Ram's, I needed it to cure my OCD.

This is very good to hear! Am getting my summer wheels put back on my Carrera T in 9 days, and they’ll be fitted with brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, replacing the previous Pirellis.

Guessing you won’t notice as you have done winter tyres between but I went from Pirelli to 4S on my T at 11k miles and immediately noticed that steering response was a litter softer, just not as immediate - not sure if the 4S have a softer sidewall maybe, or perhaps just the shape of the tyre and the Pirelli had a squarer edge? Traction is incredible though as is cornering grip for a road biased tyre. Be interested to hear your thoughts.
