So I got my wheel back today.. Well worth having them done..

They are Powdercoated in color and then Powder Clear

Lifetime warranty from defects etc..

Asked the guy I worked with and the color is a close enough match you will not be able to tell.. I will get some pictures once I get them out of the box and bolted back tot he barrels.

Now for a hood....... and get the rockers done

I have 40 of the one on the left, 120 of the one on the right

I would think there's a couple reasons why I might choose to do 40 to match the 120. 1. you need fewer 2. it's certainly the type most frequently seen with the larger diameter flange with most multi-piece wheels.

I would think it important to match the shoulder of the bolt also to the 120 also. I'd think the shoulder length is maybe just a couple mm short of the total depth of the bore for the multi-piece when assembled. You didn't mention size or a post a profile so what I mention could be speculation but I wouldn't think. The one on the right looks like it might carry a "trademark". Yes/No?

I would think it not a problem. The catch could be is that I believe some of the multi-piece are done with 7mm hardware. Yours are?

Wheel centers certainly do look good. They did you well.

I will get length and info later.. they are 8mm head not sure if actual thread size

They look awesome!

USAZR1 · 12-01-2013

Those turned out really nice,Jeff.

bolt on Right says "R O" and "TITAN"

both are M6 as far as I can tell, one is about 28-29mm the other 32mm

Found some chrome plated ones on eBay for $60 per wheel r $220 for all 4. I doubt I can get these parts from Speedline, not sure where else to look

Jeff, have you considered a stainless fastener? I so often see chrome hardware rusting just from tightening the fastener to the wheel.

Just a thought.....
