As the title says. It is from a Porsche wheel.

Cheers

Any wheel shop should be able to find you these...
M12 = Metric 12mm bolt
1.5 = pitch of the thread

The part that mates the wheel need to be matching on nut and wheel eg 45 degrees

Good luck

Thanks for that. I can find nuts that will fit but none with little round dome top on it like this one has.

have you tried ? volksconversions, i think it's john sherman. i know he has wheel nuts of various types to fit porsche and vw.

Think the new Volks website shop sell these :)

Tried Volks.com.au and not quite the right ones. I may try volks conversions though.

Cheers guys.

Definitely NOT for a Porsche rim, but possibly a Porsche repro/copy rim.

Porsche rims (Fuchs, Phones, Cookies, Twists etc.) all have the ball mating surface like cesiumfrog says, plus they're all M14. That one looks to be a 60 degree Acorn nut, and is obviously marked as M12x1.5.

Looks more like a Holden nut to me... they were M12x1.5 60 deg up until the VE Commodore (when they switched to M14 60 deg)

The "little round dome top" is just a cosmetic thing, potentially different to each manufacturer....

Richard from vforce has a shop on ebay selling porsche wheel nuts, but not what is in the pic

It is a later model but definitely a Porsche nut. They came with my twists from a Carrera. I am looking for the same ones as I lost 8 of the 20 from the bag they were stored in.
