You mean wheel nut??
Whatever - VW and Porsche are both metric.
So...it is standard VW in that they are both metric
Futue te ipsum!!!

Thanks for that Biz, made a few phone calls to specialist wheel suppliers but they couldn't help, took a drive to visit their shop but still no good
"take it to an engineering place and get em to measure the thread"was the best they could do, on the way home saw a Bob Jane store, whiped in and
the bloke identified it straight off, wiped out a set of threads on a ring to confirm, showed me a couple of choices then says their the same as on
the Crewman I am driving, he was able to supply them complete with the plastic caps. another win for Bob.

NO... all pre- VZ Holden have 12mm studs; VE Holden is a larger 14mm thread like VW but uses a taper seat on the face of the nut, NOT a 'ball' seat
(Porsche/Audi/VW)

yep, thats what I needed, the bloke who i bought the car off had ball taper nuts on straight tapered rim, had the car for two years before I needed to
remove a wheel thats when I found it, didn't help that I lost a couple of the porshe nuts and needed to replace them.
