Title: Socket 4 BBS
Post by: KelvinIOW on 21 August 2004, 12:47

Does anyone know where i can get a socket for the BBS bolts on my split rim as shown!

Because ive got my new rim now and i need to put it back together using the old bolts is there a special socket that i need or is there an alternative socket?

Help would be greatly appreciated thanx :D

i think you can use normal sockets. i need to take a few out and reseal them and the socket fitted pretty tight on the bolt. cant remember what size tho :P

It might be 10mm but don't quote me on that, yes we just used a normal socket
