WTB: 993 lugnuts
Anybody have some old 993 lug nuts kicking around?
I wish to delete the lock nuts on both of my 993s.
I could use 8 nuts if anybody got em?

Uh, same as any lug nut from the first 911 fitted with alloy wheels. Not to mention every front engined Porsche sports car (except the 4 lug 924s). Can't forget the 914/6 and 912, either.

Sorry to hijack OP's thread but I was swapping track wheels off this weekend and discovered the shop that mounted my tires cross-threaded one of my lug nuts. I almost always just bring wheels to the shop rather than the whole car but I made an exception this one time and now I am reminded why I have that rule. Fortunately the stud was not affected but the nut is junk.
Hopefully TCSRacing has already found what he needed, anyone still have a spare (or a couple) they'd be willing to part with?
Thank you!

I am happy to say Emerald (E3Photo) was true to his word and a handful of lugnuts arrived in my mailbox along with some good advice on ensuring the mis-threaded nut didn't goober the stud -- Thank you very much! R/L is a great community, makes owning these cars an even better experience.

I bought new ones to replace the locks. And within a years time try were no longer black, looking more like dark brown. I only use a 6 pt socket and a breaker bar. Now I use my impact wrench and a socket.
I should add that I used the same pinnacle or megs gold car wash to clean the wheels.
