    BBS Style 42 bolts

    Hello guys,

    Im now refurbishing my 17" 2 piece style 42. They have m7x24 titanum bolts

    2014-08-05-08.32.16a1.jpg

    But I was wondering if I could use bolts like this, from other BBS wheels(think style 5) The size is the same m7x24
    Cauz the price of the titanum bolts is sky high but the other ones are much cheaper.

    I don't think they will work. The look very similar to nuts on the style 5's. I have both 5's and 42's disassembled in my basement and the style 5 nut is to big for the recessed cavity on the 42's. Other than the large head diameter, if they will fit, I would go a head and use them.
    BTW - Holy crap are the style 42 bolts expensive. I just saw them at 2.55 british pound each. http://www.pwmotorsport.com/pr,55,1x...0714040314.jpg

    That's what I do for living. Fastener distribution. Sure I can find these for 1$ maybe a little more. I'll check tom. At work.
