This is a 20 inch BBS 2 part wheel. My car is a 2003 Black XKR convertible. The wheel is apparently out of round and setting up a harmonic that makes the fasteners back out of the rim. I am trying to find another wheel, or find a way to fix this one. I have seen several machine shops, queried most of the junk yards and talked to various dealers. Nobody seems to be able to help me. Can you help or steer me to someone who can?
I'm amazed the titanium bolts are backing out. When I've had 20 inch split rim alloys refurbished, they have been so secure with Loktite that there was a serious risk of shearing.

Thank you for responding to this question.
For the life of me - and I’ve been looking all morning, how do I get to that screen that you so so kindly highlighted?
i am trying to follow the rules here, but finding things difficult. Sorry.

That depends on the hardware you are using to access the forum and the view you have selected. As you forum Signature didn't appear on your last post, I think you may be using a smartphone or tablet and Mobile Site view?
The screenshot in my post is the Full Site view. The Mobile Site option doesn't display User CP.
Ok I’m on an I phone 7. I do own a Sony laptop but it has a “Vista” operating system and the geniuses at MicroRob have deemed it obsolete.
l’ll go over to it tho and try - wish me luck and many thanks for your reply.
