HRE wheel stud wrench .... what fits ?
I just released my '09 Turbo for another 3 years. I'm happy about that.
Since the monthly tab dropped a grand, I decided to treat myself to some new wheel / tires from HRE and Wheel Experts. Taking about 7 weeks to deliver, tho. Bummer, but I feel worth the wait.
Well, changing out the OEM wheels for the HRE's will not be as simple as I expected. The 19 mm deep well socket will not ... as I am told ... fit the HRE P43's that I have incoming. Nor will the OEM wheel wrench.
So ... what to do? Who can tell me what to buy, find, adapt, grind to make this wheel / tire change over go smoothly?
The new HRE's are black. I don't want to gall the surface to expose the bright aluminum base.
Help me out, please.

For my dymags, I got a thin walled deep socket. Works great. Just be careful you're not letting the sides of the socket touch the walls of the bolt hole or you might scuff/scratch your wheel. I can't get a normal thickness socket onto my rear wheels, that's why I got a thinwall. Even still, it's snug. I think that you might be able to get allen headed titanium bolts for the 911 which would also work (possibly even better).
