Theft don't have schedule and sure they won't give you notice.

Thieves don't care about breaking their own socket... what the hell you talking about? hahah... JK. I know what you meant but I was talking about stealing it.

Well, I heard these design socket are weak but I prefer the McGard brand and thinkking of doing stud/nut conversion.

stolen example

But hey... it's your car, you can do whatever you want.

Using an impact wrench on these is a big no no. You will crack the socket. I already know that from experience. Once you crack this socket there's no turning back. You have to remove all of them which I did on one of my cars. With it a bunch of scracthes in the lug hole where they used their tool to remove it.

I've never heard of anyone on Porsche forums having their wheels stolen and I'm on several forums and a 20+ years of Porsche ownership. I've heard of their car being stolen but not just the wheels.
