Good morning!
I have a 1981 924 that has aftermarket wheels. Along with the car, I got the stock wheels but no lug nuts or center caps. They are alloy. Could someone show me what the stock lugnuts and center caps look like?

924 don't have studs so it's not a standard lug nut

as for the wheels I will assume you have the spyderwebs

My five bolt wheels took lug nuts, not bolts. I don't have pics of the lug nuts. Can you post a pic of the wheels and maybe I have some caps that would work.

Important point to note, factory wheels use a ball seat, not a straight taper, on the nut. So you would need specific P-car nuts - but then they're pretty standard for all Porsches.

With aftermarket wheels, however, there's a chance you do need a tapered seat on the nuts.

Get it wrong, your wheels can fall off...

I havent figured out how to post pics. The wheels are the stock 8 spoke 4 lug alloys.

Ah, then you're looking for wheel bolts (like the pics above), unless the car was converted to studs/nuts?
