a couple of mine have sheared off on the inside, are they special in anyway or is it a case of finding one that fits? On 1st Mar, 2009 MikeRace said:

I had to change mine to some uprated ones. The original ones were junk. Just find some decent 6mm allen head ones. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Odd that I never had this issue with my Spectrums! Maybe when MB started making them again they fitted shite? On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

Never had the problem with my Spectrum either, they are s/s. I have heard a few stories of MB bolts breaking though
I seriously doubt it! |

Umm, so you are only using 12 instead of the possible 16 holes.

theres only 12 possible fixing holes on the 'face side' of the wheels, should the inner half of the wheel be fixed on with 4 more then? On 1st Mar, 2009 MikeRace said:

If the outer rim and centre are only drilled for 12, then you have to live with that.

Of the mb wheels i have seen the rims are drilled for both a 12 and 16 hole pcd. I haven't actually seen centres for a long time for the mini centres but we use them all the time at work and have 13" 16 hole wheels for the f1s. |
