petermerle Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Cape Town ( deep south ) Vehicle(s): W460 *1, W123 *2, W124 Posts: 1315 | Re: BBS Split rim ( armored G's ) I'm trying to work out the correct wheel bolt as I never got a full set. The Wheel bolt that were there are 19mm across face and have thread length of 45mm. Strangely for this wheel not wheel bolt is listed on the EPC. Harolds website has an error in it as the wheel bolt listed is A140 400 05 70 however this bolt has a 17mm head. peter | ||

I want to paint it black - Do I paint it completely assembled with existing stainless steel bolts? or paint it in piece parts ? How do you paint the stainless bolt heads? Peter | ||
