Was cleaning my wheels sunday and noticed im missing 1 screw, that keeps the split rims together, where can i get a new one from?
Also, should they really be able to just come loose??

Err that would worry me matey.
I'd double check it isn't snapped inside the wheel.They shouldn't be falling out thats 100% sure,if i was you i would check every bolt on every wheel and make sure they're tightened properly.I don't know the correct torque setting for them but someone else may do.

Yeah i do mate, didn't even think about that, will have a proper look tomorrow, its in the garage for an oil change will get him to check them.
And yes i do, but want to sell them complete.
But i know what your saying, might have to rob one and put the new one in the spares.

M6 Spline bit mate. Dont go as high as 30 they can snap. 25nm is tight enough

The Torq bit I have is VM8, very unusual size but is exactly right for the wheels
