Does anyone, anywhere, supply replacement rim bolts and splined sockets anymore? I remember someone was doing these a while back,I have a mix of black finish on the rear and plated on front on my wheels.

Got ours from Hans in Holland but that was a few years back. They were from a German supplier, and ythe options were stainless or tintanium, at approx £2 per bolt. THe tool is a different matter. I know one or two have one but you'll be doing well if someone will lend it out.

Thanks for that, have enquired with Splitrims and awaiting a reply.

I found the German supplier,Pertsch & Partner - they do all the bolts and nuts in various finishes and the tools, although they are 123.75euro for a set of 10 point tools. The nuts and bolts are about 2euro a set in stainless.

Seems theres no cheap way to refurb these wheels these days, to be fair mine arent bad but could do with freshening up a bit, and the odd bolts are annoying. I do have a mint set of Estorils bought new from the factory as a second set to save the OZ's but have done less than 500 miles with them since as in my opinion they just dont look right on an otherwise completely standard Precat. They may have to go to finance an OZ refurb before they start to look used. The other option may be to try and find a good set of Camile Gotti/Axia, another set of hens teeth. Decisions, decisions.
