Probably an age old question , but I have some BK 171's i want to fit. the spigot rings that came with them are knackered. I know the hub size is 57.1mm but I'm struggling with the external size. Also although my existing BMW wheel bolts fit without issue the McGard bolts I have are too short. Any r...

I have a set of 4 BK alloys I want to get refurbed. One I believe will need welding to the outer edge .

I'm located not far from M3/M25.

Don't know if this is a re-post but I saw this on my travels last week and just had to take a pic.

They are pretty good on price and cheaper than a main dealer. They will always give you a quote before carrying out any work and will show you if needed what is wrong. Labour I think is Ã‚£48 per hour. Don't know if thats good or bad!

I got them to instal a Clifford on my car.The instal was fine by a local firm and the guy installing was very helpfull,polite etc. But I did find out afterwards that I could have got it bought and fitted alot cheaper!
So far it's worked great , oh f**k I bet I've jinxed it now!

Thank you for those part numbers I shall order those tomorrow! Is it worth trying to get the injectors out and get them cleaned? Any idea of cost? Also the nuts that hold the inlet manifold on are there meant to be washers with them? I took all the nuts off but there any seemed to be three washers? ...
