Split Rims

[Andy RB]

I need to split the rims on a BMW Z4. Need to know whether i Can reuse the bolts and what do i torque them to when refitting? Thanks

Can't help with your exact wheels, but this may be helpful as a guide. http://the-polisher.tripod.com/id6.ht

Never done a Z4, but on speedline splt rims you are not supposed to re-use the bolts.

I had a set refurbed with new bolts and after a few weeks I found some of the bolts were quite loose!

I refurbed a set later using original bolts correctly torqued to reccomended 15 ft/lb torque.....and used loctite on the threads so they wouldn't come loose....no problems so far

I did my GT3 wheels, and then marked them all with a dib of paint, 2 years later, no movement.....though getting hold of the titanium BBS replacements is not going to happen as BBS would not even entertain talking to me.
