    In other words :
    Anyone can now remove your rear wheels because you no longer have the security bolts.
    Right?

    Sorry, but I find this is unacceptable being Porsche spacers.

    1. unfortunately this is true, not theft protection bolts with the wheel spacers
    2. have you ever tried to carry a Cayenne 20'' wheel?
    3. no problem of wheel theft in Germany, don't know about other regions
    4. a solution might be available later on

    Fireo: would you please post a picture showing your car from the rear to be able to judge how the wheels look now from behind? Also would you please comment on any changes in driving/handling behaviour? Thanks.

    I highly doubt this.
    Since a couple years, every Turbo/C4S ordered with the Sport Techno's is delivered with the 17mm spacers on the rear axle these also come without security nuts .

    This is the reason why there might be a solution sooner or later.

    security bolts really don't do anything except deter the most puerile amateurs.

    professional wheel theives stalk the target, and come with all the right tools.
