Post Mon Oct 04, 2010 9:16 pm

Anyone able to point me in the direction of o.z split rim bolts and nuts. Plenty of bbs type on eBay but the o.z ones I need are actually nuts and bolts aposed to bolts alone

What are you trying to do?
Replace or renew?

I don't understand the difference between replace or renew mate? I might be missing something but either way I want to know where I can get them.

To me, replace or renew is exactly the same thing

???

sorry, do you have some at the mo and are looking to replace with new?

Post Mon Oct 04, 2010 9:54 pm

No I need a full set of 120 but as I say the bbs thread into the actual alloy where as the o.z have nuts on the rear of the rims

Right, you can also use BBS RS's bolts and nuts on wheels.
OZ bolts and nuts use a 10 point 8mm and 10mm socket , do you have these to hand?
People normally replace with the BBS ones as the sockets are easier to find and are cheaper.

Here's a link to the BBS ones.

Might have located a set I might be able to borrow, from my mate who refurbs wheels

Yup

Hence the lack of refurb action that's been going on since I've had em!

You'll probably know this too - are any other rims compatible with mine? Wouldn't mind a wee bit more dishage on the back if I do ever get round to rebuilding them...

Are your a 35 hole dish, if so, then the answer is No, BBS are 30 or 34 bolt, Oz's and Hartge are 35 bolt (and a 10 point system

)
But the dishes are available, and are similar in price to the BBS ones.

my o.z rims are 30 hole

30 bolt will be fine, but you still have to look out for the OZ lips, as I found there is about 2mm internal difference where the face sits between the oz ans bbs lips.
You could by the BBS ones, and have an engineering firm take off the excess for a small fee.

I'd rather stick to the proper ones if that's the case... especially if they are relatively easy to get hold of. Ta!
