Tozerman Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Like many (I'm sure) I hate the OEM wheel bolts, great big bloody things. I am considering some Renntech wheel studs/nuts. Has anyone done the same or got any advice or feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 They'll look much prettier if you just fit chrome/alloy effect bolt caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extanker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 iirc studs need to be replaced with frequent use.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tozerman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks for the replies. Didn't want to get the plastic covers that are available, think they look just as bad TBH. Wasn't aware of the need to regularly replace the studs, must look into that. All opinions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Fagan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I converted my race Boxster to studs. Much easier for changing wheels. I got long studs to be able to play with different spacers but they do shorter standard ones too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tozerman Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 I have contacted Rennline and for street use there is a need to change them every two years!! Think I'll put them on hold for the time being.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extanker Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 it is amazing they get away with selling them .......the concept of aftermarket is supposed to be an improvement .....not a risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 When I bought my Cayman the condition of the bolts really let it down, and as a temporary measure I bought some plastic caps, expecting them to still look a bit rubbish and eventually all fall off. A year later and all of them are still on the car, and I actually quite like the look of them now! I didn't buy from this actual seller but I think these are the ones I have - they're more of a matt grey than black: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19mm-BLACK-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUT-BOLT-COVERS-CAPS-UNIVERSAL-SET-FOR-ANY-CAR/254178834325?hash=item3b2e3d3795:g:SlsAAOSw9w9cmvWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
