Hi guys
Managed to get hold of some 3r wheels,going to get them powder coated black.
Did not know they have plastic fake bolts in them.
Would i need to get them out before the wheels are treated n powder coated.
Was told they were expensive to buy but i can use normal hex bolts, just cut the head off n stick
them on to wheel.
Has anyone got any other ways of doing this.

many thanks
steve

you will add a bit of weight to each wheel if you cut bolts and insert them. place that has done lots of noble wheels,removes the plastic fake bolts in the process of painting stripping etc. good luck.

Where Steve? I've been looking for ages as my wheels were re-furbed before I bought the car.
