And you could too!

theyre about £100 quid for three sockets (yowch!!) from www.titanium-touch.com. A german company who sell the tools on the 'bay.

I ordered them late last week, and the missed delivery note came through the door yesterday: pretty good!

Good quality tools, although I havent had a chance to check the fit yet, they look fine.

The bolts themselves will be binfodder, replaced by a nice set of M7*24mm Bi-hex bolts, chrome plated of course...

Woohoo, Im going to have a smart set of wheels.

Sounds like an excellent find. Probably a silly question, but why do you need 3 sockets confused Or is that the minimum order.

They come as a set of 3...

The third one is for 10 point socket headed bolts.

Will let you all know how I get on with them!

Looks like you can get replacement bolts from them too.

They don't seem to have a price list. but £100 seems a bit expensive for 3 sockets.

It looked like if you went on the website you could just buy the tool you wanted. Mind you my German is not up to anything past ja and nein smile

Got our bolts from Germany and they offered a stainless or titanium option, so we went titanium which were approx £2 each, so for the split rims on the Griff, 130 bolts plus shipping, ouch!
The bolt heads don't look to bad but the central connecting piece which you don't see is often badly corroded.

You would get your money back if you hired them out with a deposit...

I have a set of these (and paid a lot less) - have lent them our several times already

The only cost is that you pay for recorded delivery both ways
