Would normal HT socket head fixings and nylock nuts not do?

That's all my split rims are held together with :)

Jon,

You could try these guys:

It's outside the UK, so may not attract the 'rip off Britain' factor on the price.

I can see the pics of the bolts on Fengel-man but can't find the order page.

I will have to call them!

I need 120 of these.

Any more advice?

Ԛ£60 for polishing (not what you're thinking! :mad: )
Ԛ£205 for tyres
Ԛ£120 (minimum) for bolts
Ԛ£10 for sealant
Ԛ£50 petrol dropping bits off here there and everywhere!
Ԛ£20 for fitting tyres

That's....Over a grand.
