Benefits of Aftermarket Ferrari Purosangue Wheel Bolts
- Safer and better performance. Wheel bolts are designed to fasten your wheels with a clamping force. When correctly torqued, they will make a strong mechanical connection to the threads on the vehicle hub. Higher grade wheel bolts provide higher strength, better wear resistance, and higher-temperature resistance capacity. This means even in hard-driving, they can keep in very good condition. If you would like to improve your Ferrari Purosangue’s performance by reducing weight, a set of lighter wheel bolts with do the trick for you.
- More options for wheels. If you’ve purchased a set of aftermarket rims, you’ll possibly need to replace your stock wheel bolts to match the new wheel insert holes. Aftermarket Ferrari wheel bolts come in three standard types: cone seat, ball seat, and flat seat. They are made to match specific mounting holes and fit different seat types of rims. This is especially important if your aftermarket wheels are not compatible with factory wheel bolts.
- More noticeable appearance. Aftermarket wheel bolts can add a personalized style to your Ferrari Purosangue. Usually, they are in a mass variety of colors and styles. You can invest in a new wheel bolt kit for entirely aesthetic purposes. By using wheel bolts of different styles, you can make the wheels more noticeable. This will further enhance the visual effect of your aftermarket wheels.
- Better Security. Some locking wheel bolts come with spline grooves on the head and require a special key. The requirement of a unique tool reduces the risk of stripping the wheel bolt and prevent the wheel from theft. They add security for your wheels, meanwhile, their smaller head diameter makes them lighter than other types of wheel bolts.
Which Ferrari Purosangue Wheel Bolts Do I Need?
Equipping the correct Ferrari Purosangue wheel bolts is very important to ensure the safe and reliable installation of the wheels. Depending on the wheels and vehicle hub, wheel bolts vary in the thread, seat type, or others. Thread engagement refers to how much contact your wheel bolt has, or how many complete turns before it is tight. For your safety, proper thread engagement must be met. Before shopping for new Ferrari Purosangue wheel bolts, check out the seat type first:
- Conical seat has a beveled 60 degree angled surface and it is the most popular type for aftermarket wheels.
- Ball seat is an inverted bowl-shaped seat.
- Flat seat (also called mag seat) is a completely flat surface used with a separate gasket.
The other term “size” refers to the right wheel bolt measurement and takes into account thread length, head diameter, and thread pitch. Typically, you need to keep the thread length and pitch the same as the length and pitch of stock wheel bolts. You can find the right size in your vehicle’s manual. It’s essential to be aware of the head shape. Most Ferrari cars’ wheel bolts have a hex shape that is designed for fitting a range of regular sockets. But some wheel bolts’ head diameter is commonly designed for specific aftermarket wheels and will require an adapter for installation/removal. If you purchase aftermarket Ferrari Purosangue wheel bolts, make sure that you have the hardware to be able to install/remove them.
