Default Wheel Refurbishment

Managed to get hold of a spare 20" Sepang wheel. I've prepared the wheel for spraying and have removed the split rim bolts bar two for spraying.Does anyone know the torque setting for replacing said bolts.

Many Thanks Steve.

The bolts used are one time use, and stretch during initial torque. Each wheel depending on size and offset can affect this setting. I strongly recommend that you contact BBS directly with your question with the "contact us" link below, and would strongly suggest you replace the bolts. This is a safety issue that not only affects you, but if you drive on the road, everyone else.
