Maybe, there is a company I used to deal with up in Leeds - Motorsport Wheels. I'm sure they are UK wide but feel quite confident they could help. I'll try and look up their number/detail or you could Google them. Seacroft in Leeds if I recall correctly.  :wink:

Nope tried those guys you recommended but they only sell wheels, not the bolts  :sad:

Those wheels are looking lush m8, liking the white with the blue, good contrast.  :wink:
So did you have any problems when splitiing them?? tbh this is the only problem ive had so far, getting these bluddy bolts, as i managed to drill the remaining bits of the bolt out of the rim, without effecting the thread. there all pretty much painted up now so i really need these bolts to put them on the car. Cant w8  :laugh:


An Cheers Paul, ive just sent them an email now, looks pretty positive from looking at their website.  :smiley:

It is actually a silver finish, but i admitt does look white in those pics. Must just be the light.

Didnt seem to have any probs splitting mine. Just left them to soak over night with some wd40 and then another quirt about 20 mins before having a go and they came off great.
