OZ Racing 30 bolt sets

[IanA]

Hi
Does anyone know where to get the right specification 30 bolt sets for the 15" OZ Racing 2 piece rims??? Mine have been attacked by ali-clean and are looking rough. I've tried the UK agents but they only want to sell me new complete 19" wheels...
Regards
Ian

I had the same problem - spent a lot of time searching - even contacted the factory in Italy. In the end I had the original fasteners replated.

Yes just bought a set for mine, Available in Titanium or Stainless.

How are you going to remove/replace them - I understood they require a special ten-point socket? Anyone got access to one?

Tool is supplied with the new bolts.

Great news.
Many thanks for the info. They look like double hex heads (12 points) in the pic so a good socket set should suffice. Does anyone know if the stainless ones are appreciably cheaper??? I can check with Hans anyway.
Cheers

1. Stainless steel are not strong enough and should not be used.
2. £1.75 is not a bad price as they are typically about £3 -5 each for similar spec titanium bolts.
3. Unless you have the correct tool, a 12 pt socket etc will not work as the diameter is also wierd.
4. Tower View have the tools - the retaining nut is also a funny splined fit - and can split the wheels if you want.

The bolt heads and nuts on these new replacement Titanium bolts are slightly different from the original Oz bolts so I doubt if the same tool can be used, they are supplied with a new socket to fit, and the locking nuts are standard hexagonal.
