Re: Pre drive 360
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 in particular 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.
