I've got my new wheels back from the powder coater and was just thinking how cool they would look with some anodised bolts, anyone know where I can get these and what size they are?

Try this link. If they are made of Alloy will they be OK for wheel bolts ? I would not have thought so. May be CT will offer advice.

Make sure you get strong ones, i doubt youll find anodized ones as they all tend to be alloy not steel... and using alloy bolts to hold a wheel on is pure suicide! Shocked

Might get some nice titanium ones.... from probolt.

Either get the ones you have got painted or leave well alone. the anodised stuff doesnt even hold a side casing on let alone a wheel Laughing

as cheeky said would use titanium ones , probolt do them in anodised colours, don't use alloy or stainless stell for the wheel bolts,

probolt also do cup washers and caps to cover the steel bolts, you can see some blue ones on my old runner case

Sneaky peak at one of my new MP3 wheels, after powder coating...

CB tell me more about this spacer you speak of, I thought it was a straight swap.. Confused

I guess I'm gonna have to get one made then, unless theres a difference between MP3 and fugly wheels , can't see why though Confused

That is about all I know Smudge Embarassed

I had my wheels fitted yesterday as well as full service to sort this starter bendix problem out also had new pads in back and a new breather pipe on the battery as mine was blocked may be worth checking this guys....

All I know is the mechanic rang me and said he was having problem when you tighten the back nut up the wheel would not turn around so he was having to make a spacer

All sorted now though after a whole day in Barsley just for a service and wheels fitted Very Happy

I was just thinking the same thing....

Cheeky if you read this are GTS front and rear wheels the same? if they are why would Castle Barber need a spacer on the fugly wheels???

Does look cool though mate cant wait to get mine on.... Cool
