Default Porsche wheel nuts ?

Basically wanting to know the A/F size of Porsche wheel nuts.

I am wanting to buy a soft socket to use on some Mugen wheel nuts I have bought and the only place I can find them is on a Porsche site.

So what size are they ??

I think Simon needs to know the size of the soft box on the Porsche site.

I think he's old enough to know the size of his nuts!

Re-read - "I can find a soft socket on the Porsche site, but don't know if it is the right size"

Sorry, can't help.

Where's Jamie when you need him?

I don't know the size, but you can bet it's the very best size ever.

It will also be the most expensive size, but if you bought one you'd know why it was so expensive.

And all those people who can't afford that size are only jealous, they all want that size really.

They also do a version the same size, only out of a better material that are cheaper.

But people continue to buy the more expensive, older nuts because they are 'classic' and bong on that people only buy the improved nuts because they can't afford the real thing!

Don't forget the 40th anniversary nuts that look like the race car version nuts but don't have the performance, however these are highly sort after so that you can tell your mates in the wine bar / bistro that you've got the nuts to have compared to the standard issue.
