Default Lug bolt help

Hey guys, have various lug bolts from a lot purchase and was hoping to get some help identifying couple of these lug bolts and the length before putting them on sale.

1. Labeled with MaxSpeed on the side of the head

As for the length, different ones seem to have different thread starting points so do I measure just the threads or from the bottom of the base? Tried taking couple pics with tape measure.


2. Couldn't find any identifier on these but they are pretty light, much lighter than oem or the above ones. Maybe titanium? Again need help identifying the length on these ones too.

Thanks in advance!

A couple of those look like the threads are stripped half way up.

Could be dirt too, try cleaning the threads with a wire brush and take better pictures.

The lug bolt length is measured from the base of the conical seat. From the first picture it starts around 31mm or so and runs to 70mm. Total length would be approximately 39mm front that photo.

Thanks Semi for that info and diagram, very helpful!

And yes pretty sure that is just residue / dirt, will clean that up and take better pics before selling.

Include a picture of all of the the lug bolts together.
I'm assuming you also have the wheel lock key.
I love titanium. Hmmm Titanium.

Yep, looks and sounds like titanium. The "dirt" looks like aluminum anti-seize paste.

But Maxspeed is selling 12 pt bolts now in TI. Maybe you bought their old lot? Probably best to call and ask...

As a point of info, Porsches use a rounded ball or radius seat rather than a cone or conical seat, like that in the photo, but the measurement technique would be the same. Never use a cone seat lug bolt on a ball seat wheel or vice versa, but the bolts you have pictured are the proper type so if they're the proper length then they will work with OEM Porsche wheels or most aftermarket wheels built for Porsches.
