Dell'orto Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm in the process of refurbing a few sets of old alloy wheels, and one wheel in particular has really badly corroded bolt hole inserts...is there anywhere in NZ that can supply these? Would suck to have spent all this time so far polishing them to not be able to use them! Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Short answer, not really. Arrow had sizes not consistent with older Japanese wheels. I went through this with my Equip 02's and in the end it was cheaper for me to import a cheap set of wheels from Japan to raid the inserts from.

Dell'orto Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Make some?  My old man could spin some up either at home or at the polytec I did wonder if this may be the only way - they aren't a complex shape at least! Might whack one out and see what can be done  Warren dickson at rim ryte did a couple sets on the race car. pretty reasonably priced as well. Do you know if he had them on the shelf or if he made them up? I found a website last night in 'murica that sell them, but they have a minimum $50 order and the inserts are like $2US each...

Rhyscar Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 He buys them in from somewhere in nz (came in overnight) then machined to suit and pressed into wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
