    My car comes with Challenge Style Wheels. I dont have it yet. It will be picked up soon for shipping to my home.

    I will need new tires soon so in anticipation to that - can someone tell me what tool I need to remove the lug bolts?

    Or tell me what you use/recommend?

    Thanks in advance!

    I think it's just a 17mm hex head. I'm not with my car so I can't check at the moment

    I picked up the hex drive from Ricambi. As others have said, it is a 17mm. When you torque the wheels down, be sure to follow the instructions in the owners manual - first torque to 38(?)Nm and then finish 100Nm. Again, check the owners manual.

    Excellent info Tony. Thank you!

    Yes, I will read the owners manual soon for proper torque application.

    Do you do your own oil changes? If so, might as well pay a bit more and just buy a whole set of 1/2 drive sockets. The main drain plug on the 430 is a 19mm hex I believe.

    If your car came with the titanium wheel bolts from the factory, there is probably a 17mm hex in the kit. I bought an extra one so I don't have to cart the whole kit around, especially on trips.

    Got it.

    I will check my tool kit once my car arrives next week.

    Thanks Dino.

    Have a great weekend.
