Long shot but here goes - Turbomac lip bolt size

[xlr8]

So I've got some bronze Turbomac HD's coming tomorrow. Got a crazy good deal so couldn't say no. They are bronze with a black rings but the fake ring bolts are silver...yuck. I'm not a fan of the bolts at all but didn't have a choice. I called Fifteen 52 after they never answered my email and they said the bolt pattern was propriety or some nonsense and couldn't tell me. He then goes on to say they are coming out with black bolts in a month...but of course.

I wanted to just order some today but guess i'm going to have to measure and find some. That is unless someone already knows.

If i don't like them i'll throw them up for sale and give someone else a smoking deal. We'll see.

why not just paint the bolts black?

yeah with as much paint as i have in the garage that's the likely best route. I'm still stumped the propriety threading answer though. Guy should have just said he didn't know.

i highly doubt its proprietary. prob just a weird thread pitch.

Just take off a bolt take it to your nearest hardware store they'll figure it out. If the bolts are non functional buy them out of plastic save some weight.

Yep was just at TMX and they said the same thing. M8x1.25 and to just get plastic ones.

Case closed

I would never buy wheels with beauty bolts again. They just add weight for no reason and when they rust, you will have a tough time finding a proper replacement.
