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. :P

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
