Yea those are the ones in the catalog I think.. can't tell for sure cause the pics are small. it looked like there are some steel lugs as well. How does Porsche get away with using aluminum lugs? couldn't you just use some anti seize compound?

I'll be staying away from aluminum lugs per intgr8r's advice even though I haven't tracked my car before, it is a possibility and don't want to buy twice I think I'll look used

IDK about Porsche using alum
I've just heard about this from guys at the track that had it happen.

also;
NEVER use anti-seize on lug nuts, torque specs are for dry threads.
Because it acts as lubricant, you will over torque the nuts when installing.
So 80lbs with lube might be more like 100+ dry.

Wedsport makes good rims. I use to have the SA-90's on my rsx-s a long time ago.
