I need to replace the assembly bolts of my '98 Targa speedline wheels, does anybody know the Porsche part number or the specs (load/strength ) of the originals bolts?

Thx

Curious as well. I've searched and searched, but can't seem to find anything specific.

Seems like this might be a question for Speedline, since they provided the assembled wheel to Porsche.

Let us know what you learn.

Any luck sourcing genuine or similar bolts for the Targa wheels?

PM Jim Dorociak, he can get you what you need.

I want to have my Targa wheels refinished and have been searching for new bolts as well.

Google Pertsch and Partner, may be an option from Germany if they are hard to find at dealer.

I contacted them 2 weeks ago but was not able to get a button head type bolt. They suggested I find something similar on their site in a size of M7 x 32 T40 head 15. I'm not sure if that is the correct size. The the salesperson said they never have the original style bolt in stock. The search continues.

Done. Fingers crossed. Looks like Jim has done amazing work on Speedline wheels. Will keep this thread updated.

This is the bolt recommended by P&P compared to original hardware.

Nice find. I have a PM conversation with Jim and we're working through this. Nothing promising yet.

I'm working up the courage to take one off for detailed measurement and analysis. I give it about a 5% chance I'll actually try to remove one mine. They just look like a major headache.

I contacted Speedline but unfortunately bad news, the bolts information & specifications are shared only to Porsche ....

I hope you will be more lucky with P&P ....

Had my targa wheels redone a few months ago at a place recommended by Pirahna. They completely disassembled the wheels, media blasted all components included the bolt heads, painted the inner and outer sections and powder coated the bolt heads black and then reassembled. Wheels look awesome. Cost was $225 per wheel, not cheap but they look new and the quality of the work is excellent.

I think we have a winner ^^^

That wheel does indeed look new. I like the idea of painting the wheel and powder coating the existing steel bolts. Looks perfect. Thanks pointing me toward a shop with recent experience on these wheels!
