Snapped Bolt On my BBS RxII

Post by funlovincriminal »

When taking apart my 16'' RX2's to refurb, one of the bolts has snapped (The previous owner must have done it and siliconed it in!)

My question is, where can you buy spares

OR Does anyone have any spare bbs bolts i could buy off them??

I have taken apart 2 of the wheels up to now & I'm hoping it's only one bolt that is bugg3r3d

M<uch apprectiated

Wow, didn't realise how expensive they are!

I'm gonna put a post in the 'wanted' section, someone must have a spare lying around, it can't just be me with snapped bolts.

Cheers for the link

Check up on eBay. I remember seeing a few on there. Not sure if they're genuine or not, but I wouldnt pay £120 odd for a set of bolts :roll:

Garage just told me that I'm missing 5 bolts from one of my 15" BBS RxII!! Whoops.

Anyone know what size they are because they can't get it from the main dealer so I'll have to get it myself, short of replacing the whole wheel.

Thanks Alex.

I don't have the car with me now (will get it after work) so I can't check, but...

Do you know which bolt one I need for the stock Polo GTI BBS RXII split rims:
(M7x24.5 / 12.5mm head) http://www.justmatz.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=Bolts64

Or any M7x32?

I beleive those are correct.

Call them and they will sell in batches of 10

As they are stainless, you must be careful not to overtighten them - anything over 25nm (at a push that is aswell!) will shred the teeth

Thanks Alex. Will do.

Hopefully they won't be too much of a pain to put in.

If you do buy some & have some spare I'll buy a couple if you're willing? Could go halfs on 10 if u want depending on co$t?

I Will be 'borrowing' a bolt from my 15'' RX2's for now, but I will eventually need a replacement

Yeah, can do. I called Just Matz but no answer so I left a message. I plan to order a few spare anyway in case more come out! Need to get some loctite too.

I can sell 2 (or more) to you for whatever they charge me per bolt + postage. I'll PM you once I've ordered them.
