I hear this is a common problem for Porsches. My fronts have started to rust and it does not look too good. Does anyone know how to prevent/fix this without replacing the nuts?

 

This was a common warranty replacement. Not sure as of July 1st. But you must be out of warranty anyway. Jeff

 

or maybe the perfect time to add 5mm spacers all around!!

hahah... so how do you like the 5-spokes so far?

 

I am thinking of getting 5mm spacers for all 4 corners. Are you happy with yours and where did you get them?

 

Andy, i got mine from the same place that did my wheels ( wheel enhancement here in los angeles). these were not Porsche OEM, but given their reputation (wheel enhancement) i'm sure they're just fine, and a bit less expensive than the genuine Porsche parts. i think Booth Design (6speedonline.com sponsor) does a hecuva job in the spacers market, maybe one of the best. i'd give him a holler, he is very prompt in his response times. here is the website

i would have got mine thru him but it was easier having it done when the wheels were put on.

happier than a pig in a blanket! thanks for asking Silver.

 

I just had my lugnuts replaced a couple of weeks ago because they were rusting. For me it was under warranty. You might try and see if the dealer will give you a break.
