the 986 (boxster), 996, and 997 also use "screws".
they also come with that same neat little tool to line up the wheels. |

Well, those engineers are probably still alive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

I have screws on a 87 MB 300 SDL, my daily driver when deisel is cheaper than gas. They are about 5" long and no longer made. The tire place calls them lug nuts. Anticipating the Christmas blizzard, I went to get new tires. They snapped one on the left rear, outside the coller that hold on the wheel. It cost me $150 to get it drilled out. What a pain. Also, the "knees under the tire" method esposed above is a pain when you are in a suit on the side of the interstate in the rain.

I have studs on mine. What I don't like is the nuts with the plastic caps. I want to get the shiney silver ones for alloy wheels. Not sure where to get them though.

The (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) engineers probably never had to change tires on these cars. SteveSr |

hmmm.... just for the rear I'd guess it to be: 8 new studs @ $5.00 a pop = $40 machining and pressing = $50 minimum 2 new rear wheel bearings = $80 2 new CV gaskets = $3 not as cheap as one would hope it to be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

changing the tire once on the side of a road would make it worth every penny though... that's what I mean by "doesn't cost much" a local place actually quoted me $200 for all 4 last summer, which is not that bad... |
