Adam. Be cautious the first time you try to insert the soft socket into the Ruf wheel. The soft socket that I had (that fit the factory twists) did not fit into the orifice of my RUF wheels. The socket will start into the tapered hole, but will start to scratch the wheel finish before it completely registers on the lug nut.
Some of the soft sockets may have a slightly smaller O.D. than mine- just be cautious the first time.

Called Sunset Porsche about the McGards...they want $260 for the set! Seems steep!

Max, thanks! I think I may get the McGards...not sure. $260 is a lot, but then all 5 nuts will be locking...which is nice. ANyone have these?

Sorry for the confusion.... My assumption on the price was incorrect. I just called my friend (Phatbut - RL name) who actually was the one who picked up the lug nuts and soft socket from Ralph for me and found out that my total was $139.70 ($100+$29 plus tax of $10.70). However phatbut told me that it was $120.00 when he gave me the lug nuts and socket... so I paid him $120.00 .... not realizing that he owed me $20 from who knows when and he took it off of my total.

Now here are some pics of the socket and Max made a good point abou the size of the socket. The socket size is a 24 MM... hope this will help.

Is anyone running the McGard lugs on their Porsche? Please post pics, or opinions of them if you have them! I had them on my STi, and liked them a lot. But who knows if they are adequate for my Porsche.
