I use a very small dab on the wheel hubs mating surface, so they come off easily, when doing winter hibernation cleaning prep.

My 2003 986S manual specifically states to not put antiseize on the mating surfaces of the lug bolts. Rather, it calls for antiseize to be applied to the threads and the area in between the collar and the head (the area that's exposed when you try to separate the floating section from the bolt head)

CB - Flav is NOT referring to wheel bolts but instead to back side of wheel which mates to rotor hat surface... which then mates to hub (where a/s should also be applied).

Sorry, i mis-read, my mistake. For the record I also apply anti-seize to these surfaces, as well as where the hub-centric mounts on the wheel hubs meet the wheels themselves
