i've got some keskin fake splits and the 'bolts' are all knack-ed, i'm struggling to find anywhere sensible to get them from. at the moment the favourite is coming from the states (prestige wheel accessories) but that's still going to cost 120 quid plus the import etc. has anyone sourced these before or have any suggestions for who to contact? a tester pic of the wheels in question, obviously pre-refurb!  |

i did consider it briefly, but the bolts sit in the dish, which is getting polished again (centres will be flocked!) so i'd have to get them welded really - not ideal

Can't you just use actual bolts? I bought enough stainless high tensile hardware to rebuild my 2 piece wheels from a local bolt shop and it cost me about £25 for over 100 Allen head bolts, over 200 washers And 100 nylocs..

Yup just glue real bolts in the holes.

The wheels would look bigger if when you flocked them and you covered all the way to the outer edge inc the filled holes at leased you'll not sit in the show next to another set . .
