some people have titanium (i think) bolts from the continent (FFG I think)... not quiet sure what fitment they were.
I had mine stripped and zinc coated when I had my wheels refurbed.
Correct.I had mine stripped and zinc coated when I had my wheels refurbed.
I got them through a Wedge owner in Holland who can get them from a supplier in Germany, confusing, yes it is. Anyway his name was Hans (something like Dulmein but that is from memory and i bet it'll be nothing like that)- if you put a post in the Wedge forum someone will have his contact details i'm sure. They were just over £2 a bolt plus around £25 postage and packaging, ie bloody expensive.

I've just been through this as well, just finished refurbing my splits at home using borrowed tools.
I gave up trying to source replacement 10 points, I was lucky as my fronts were perfect, the rears were however a black finish that I have seen on several precats.
As you have found there are plenty of chrome BBS 12 points available, in fact I still have 60 I bought and did'nt use in the end as the flange head diameter is slightly smaller than the OZ's.I had to shorten them as they are 32mm rather than 25mm, then after all that got the originals chromed through a pal of a pal for £20.00.
The main supplier in Germany is Titanium Touch, do a Google on them. When I enquired however they can only supply 12 point equivalents in various materials and styles, all very expensive though when x120.
BTW thread used on all the OZ/BBS style bolts is M7, also an odd size.
Worth all the hassle though to get these wheels done, the do look the business when finished, all part of that precat look. Just got a new set of T1-R's on them, and testing my rim sealing, so far so good. Steve

Maybe worth speaking to these guys http://www.justmatz.co.uk/products.php?cat=22&... they can supply the tools for splitting OZ wheels and the nuts for the back and seemingly every bolt option for every BBS wheel so I'd guess they might be able to help with the OZ's? I spent forever looking for suppliers when I was going to get my OZ/AMG Splits refurbed, and as you've found they're not well served in the UK 
This is your Hans! You can contact him through this advert:
