You know you want to go all new. Your there now. Otherwise afterwords it will be I should of, could of would of. Treat yourself right.. do it right in one.

Hey WV,






Oh do you guys think a difference of 2mm on the flange will make a big difference?

meaning if I get all new Bolts the stainless are 12.9 flange, not 14.9

also most I find are chrome plated, not many Stainless ones.

[-=Jeff=-]

it is interesting, most bolts I find or in Germany or UK, 1.99Euro for Titanium, 1.30Euro for Stainless

found some others on eBay $200 for Stainless with zinc nuts shipped.

One thing interesting is all the nuts I have on my wheels match, just 40 bolts that don't

So most of what I find are
Chrome
Gold
Black Chrome

The wheel bores seem to be consistent for what's expected. They seem to spec out at an SAE of .009 so I'd think the bore and the M7 is a fit. I found some pretty interesting M7 hardware and I'll try to get back to you in the AM. I think maybe the thing to do is either spend the money for the 40 TITAN to match or maybe consider an "all in" for the set.

What can people with these wheels pass on for information? I haven't seen a sole with the wheels respond with what's on theirs NOR have I seen you ask. I'd think I'd be asking what the originals are on some of the wheels that are out there. Not that they're any better than others but it might be something to consider. 12.9 vs. 14.9 I think of no consequence with a 40 bolt assembly. Were it an assembly of 24 - 30 it might be of some concern. Follow?

Some have reversed the assembly for offset purposes I believe and they should be able to pass on what they found when disassembling.

Yeah I figured they would post up, I will post on here and Cf looking for help, looking forward to your findings

The hardware I found all has provisions for "wire" so that's a no go. I believe the two links I gave you the other day both have the TITAN product and there's minimal difference in price. They're certainly light so the ship should be tolerable but I wonder about the other fees. It would be nice to be able to source them from the UK - I don't think the additional fees are as steep.

I'd just maybe do an inquiry to both and see what can be accomplished.

I don't know if it would be worthwhile to maybe make a couple calls to some domestic 3-piece wheel constructors or not. Maybe the SSR/Tanebe Group would be a choice. The dimensions are resolved, if a match is desired that's resolved I'd guess so it's a matter of "doing".

It looks like you've one interested in participating for a buy of 40 - 80 so that should I'd think help the cause.

Almost every M7 spec is displayed here and you could dimensionally match the flange diameter etc:

I emailed/submitted site messages to both of those, I found those too in my searching as well as your links.

both have one close, we will see what they come back with

Both had the TITAN - one @ 1,99 and the other @ 1,80 and I thought the fees were less. They weren't close, I'd have guessed a match. Did I miss something there?

nope, you got it and thanks, but I emailed seeing if they had a price break for x amount,

if they say I would get a better price at 100 pcs or 500 pcs, then I will inquire to anyone wanting a set. either way one of those will work if I decide to just do the one wheel or even all 4.

edit: when I mean close, I asked one if there was other lettering, then described what I had in hopes they might know what will match to it (is it stainless, plated, etc)

Forgot to mention - I've passed those two links on to an industrial fellow in Austria that buys in that part of the world regularly and I would expect him to answer by likely Thursday.
