Hi All,

I ordered a set of Chromed Bolts for my C2 and didn't think much about it at the time of ordering.

I went to chacge them out and noticed that the factory bolts have seating washers built on to them.

The new chrome ones are simply bolts with no seating washer. Is there some dire need for the seats,

or is it merely a cut above in the lug bolt game. Many thanks for your thoughts.

There are a couple of TSBs that talk about non-OEM wheel bolts loosening.

If it were my car I would transfer the washers or find some new washers.

Oh - I thought they were Porsche wheels.

If they are Champions then you best check with them.

Yea they are the 3pc. forged versions of the RGB5? I found out when trying to order valve stems that they were special.

Turns out that they did not even sell them to civilians. Kudo's for me. I really love the look and well since they discontinued

them around 10 years ago I figure I should take care of them. Thanks for your BlitzAntwort you are always there to lend a

helping hand, I really appreciate it.
