carpoid 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Poo bum about the bolts dude, what torque setting did you use on them ?? Were they genuine BBS bolts. What did you use to seal them, just normal silicone ?? I'm picking your brains cos i'm gonna refurb mine and sell them soon... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 26, 2008 Greeny those rims will run fine with a couple of bolts missing, i have seen people araldite the heads back on sheered ones and just leave them :eek: the pressure is taken up by the rest of the rim bolts anyway so they wont be falling off anytime soon! as long as you re- sealed the inner face well they wont leak air either :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used the aftermarket bolts,torqued to 22/24 ft/lds theres loads of info on torque settins,i was told to use exterior silicon to seal them also dont forget to use some lock tight on the bolts Greeny those rims will run fine with a couple of bolts missing, i have seen people araldite the heads back on sheered ones and just leave them :eek: the pressure is taken up by the rest of the rim bolts anyway so they wont be falling off anytime soon! as long as you re- sealed the inner face well they wont leak air either :norty: i'm gonna just wait till i replace the snapped bolts i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted April 26, 2008 do you torque them straight to 22/24 be cause your meant to torque them to 10 than 15 than 20 than 22 than 25 otherwise they break either when your doing them or when your driving ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
