Wheel hardware

[brad281]

Any of you guys ever had ECS wheel hardware snap at the head? I lost two on one wheel in the last 4 days. I'm a little concerned.

The ones that come with the spacers?

Did you over torque them?

Hmm how long have you had them on? i have had mine for about 3k miles now and have no problems. But if i start losing bolts ill be sure to let you know.

the ecs bolts look very similar to a set that I ordered on ebay (search "porsche R14 wheel bolts")
I ordered the set on ebay but returned, since the "zinc" coating looked more like paint than anodizing, as well as the lack of any bolt grade stamps (generally 10.9)
Overall not a definitive indicator since apparently not all bolts are stamped with the steel grade - but enough to keep me from trying them out.

Did they break while tightening or while driving? I've had my 12.5 and 20mm ECS spacers/bolts for about 18 months and 20k miles with no issue so far, but your experience is definitely a little troubling. With Chicago roads covered in salt all winter, I'm wondering if I need to check the bolts out a little better for any signs of corrosion
