You might want to put on more security lugs/wheel MikenOH - 9 years ago |

Good suggestion, and something I hadn't ever had to do re: the bolts. I've visually looked at the profiles of the tires, but I never considered that someone might walk off with the bolts themselves. On a 16" Boxster rim anno 1998, those bolts are fairly visible, as long as you make a point of looking for them (otherwise they just blend into the bolt well, it's all black on black). But on stock 2001 18" 'reverse' summer rims, the bolts in the back are practically invisible.
But a good point to take a look and confirm they're still there. At least one bolt per wheel is new now and stands out like a sore thumb.

..hmmmmm those look good. Wonder if it would look over done. So what's the "official" alignment of those - point to the valve cap or to the center of the wheel?

I think this product has evolved over the years--IIRC, they originally came in either black or "chrome" and the idea was to dress up the lug nut head a bit after the paint wore off. Agreed--the Porsche crests on them takes this to a new level .

as someone else suggested.
While the situations you mentioned in a later post may not seem worthy of revenge by the other parties involved of the sort that involves removing lug bolts, I'd not dismiss that as an explanation.
And they could try something else.
Also, you might want to consider buying several security bolts for each wheel, and use these for a time, just so you have more than one lug bolt holding each wheel on in case someone tries this again.
