Aussie wheel tech/discussions

You can also attach the bolts to your drill, as if you were tightening the chuck on a drill bit, then spin them up and use whatever sanding/polishing stuff you have. Tedious but it works.

Ox, if you have access to a bench grinder and a couple of compounds, set a side an afternoon and you can have pretty bolts. It's not much fun at all, but it works wonders.

Took me about 2 hours to do one set.

Texted RayRay, see what he comes back with

I've only ever bought bolts through rayray

So, I'm in the market for gold spike bolts for my RS'.

Who knows where to go?

[dylan8]

any time!
depends what results you want.
I generally just use mine after a quick soak in coke, normally still need a hand wipe after, never got a full polished look from using it only. but then again it might be the material etc im using.

This is chromed RS bolts and stainless work bolts. havent tried anything else yet

Anyone in melbs have a tumbler to polish up wheel bolts? Need to refurb a couple of sets...

[GJA003]

i've had a few sets done 5 to 4 and 4 to 5 etc no issues.
only thing Id say about that set is how close the bolt is to the centre bore

Personally would you be happy to run them ?
I had the same thoughts on how close they're to the center bore.
Having mixed thoughts, as i would rather not run adapters.

Would you mind PM'ing me some places that would also do PCD redrilling ?

Just wanted an opinion from the experts, which is you lot.
Happened to find a set of wheels i was looking to run that have been apparently professionally redrill. Actual picture for reference, just wanted feedback/thoughts on it. Was in-between running adapters or having them filled and drilled.



Also worked out how to search properly on Yahoo japan, the addiction is strong. I now understand them feels, how i wish i could buy them all.

[SebastienPeek]

Fucking wheels.
That's the next thing on my list once sorting out suspension and body.

So much damn shit to do before 100mm.

[anthony--t]

Sounds good!

[Beware]

Ok....well I'll be doing a mock up in the next few weeks and I'll work it out then. I'll let you know if I can use them and if you're happy to sell, I'll take them off your hands.
