Handy Car Wheel Fitting Aid

[bob_3000]

Yup. This happens a lot with European and German crap. My girlfriend's Audi and my Porsche 911 are both like this. Hateful things. Strangely enough, my old 928 and 944 both had proper wheel studs. So they USED to do it correctly, had a brain aneurysm somewhere in the 1990s, then made all their wheels stupid. Go figure. Funny side note, if you ever get a chance to pull the wheels off an old Porsche 944, do it. They use aluminum or magnesium lugs. It feels like they're made of air. It's absolutely bizarre holding them in your hand.

The absolute best part is the Audi HAS FLOATING ROTORS. Think getting the damn rim on the car is hard if you don't have wheel studs? Now try getting the wheel on, plus a rotor that spins out of alignment of the bolt holes every time you put the wheel on. Whatever engineer decided this was a good idea should be shot with a ball of their own ****.

Then you clearly would benefit from some of these...I just ordered a set, I never knew they were a thing, driving Saabs for forty years.
