Question Lug Bolts

My front lug bolts are a little rusted, so wanted to replace them. This is on a 2001 996 Carrera 2, running 18s in summer and 17s in winter. The lug bolts should be standard, correct? Does anyone know the right MM?

I just want the regular Porsche OEM. Thanks, Ross

Why not re-paint them and then get a "soft" lug nut socket? You could paint them the same color as the wheels.

I took my rusty lugs, and painted them with silver caliper paint. They now match PERFECTLY the Titaniuim colored calipers on my C4. My wheels are chromed, but the silver look of the lugs and the calipers together look awesome. Ditto on the soft lug!!

oh I like this. I was going to replace my rusty lugs too. But this sounds much better.
