Wheel guides
My '06 CTTS has one in the toolkit, would like to get another. Not sure which ones fit? Possibly someone has bought these before from amazon? Doing a brake/rotor job next week and would like to get these in.

Long shaft with a threaded end on it.
You put it in one of the lug bolt holes and use it to guide the wheel into place. Makes changing wheels a LOT easier. Although, especially with expensive rotors, two would be better. One potentially allows the wheel to slip.
It's in the tool kit (or at least should be) and instructions are in the owner's manual.

I bought my 2 from Suncoast and always use 2 on the wheels, even on the cars that don't have the PCCB brakes as it makes it much easier. Porsche stipulates that 2 be used on PCCB equipped cars.
Here's the link to the product page at Suncoast - https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/99957107430.html
I also heard that someone is making these from Delrin material know, which is probably even better if you have expensive aftermarket wheels as metal (wheel) sliding on smooth hardened plastic (pin) is probably better than metal sliding on metal providing the Delrin material can support the weight of a heavy SUV wheel at the end of the pin travel.
Whatever you do, don't buy the ones with the knurled areas that should make it easier to install and remove as that will surely scrape the paint off the inside of the wheel bolt holes as you slide them over that section of the pin.

Someone makes them intended to scuff up the wheel holes?
Simultaneously hard to believe that someone could be that stupid..
And totally believable that someone would be that stupid.
The factory ones have a hole in the end. I used the little allen wrench on the headlight socket to tighten it.

I find they don't need to be super tight to work just fine. I screw them in by hand and stop when they stop turning, then unscrew them by hand and move on to the next wheel.

I tried two, but found that one works probably best. Pretty difficult to hold the tire and get two holes lined up on the wheel guides. I put the one at the bottom. Putting it at the top-most lug inevitably causes the wheel to rotate when you slide the wheel on it. So, yeah, one is good. Just be careful when sliding on it's not rotating and it won't hit the caliper.

And that belongs in this thread because? There is a rule here about not selling things for friends. Only first-party sales.. and there is another rule about for-sale posts in tech forums. Verboten.
