Hi, I haven't looked at all but where would the best place be to buy some new bolts, I have seen on previous posts that eBay has been a good place, but tbh I'm a bit nervous about that as I have this vision of me wheels rolling pass me when out driving one day as I bought some cheap Chinese bolts :eh!:

To be honest then i've see far .. far worse that customers have not replaced .. i only start to get really concerned when the collar touching the wheel starts to fall apart ...
Don't tell anyone but if really bad and the customer says no then i tend to chuck some of my spare ones i have on the car regardless and not say anything .
I would always flag these up though as let's face it .. it shouldn't be like that .

Porsche bolts are about £7 each from memory.
You can get some really decent replacements online for a lot less.
Like these for example....

Thanks for all the input, it's much appreciated. Sounds like they probably should be replaced but are also probably ok for a bit.
I'll have a look at some non Porsche replacements but I'll check out the OPC prices as well or just drop it to @demort and tell him I don't want them replaced :wink:
Will post back here if I find any decent after market bolts including the ones @golfprorich suggested

No worries, I bought these for my old Boxster, they looked very smart and after two years plus were still in tip top condition 8)
