Fake split rim wheels..... fixings req

[rigga]

Ive asked in general as well,but its tvr topical so here goes......

Have some new wheels for my tvr arrive today,not the ones i orderered originally,but these have a spider esq design which ive always liked,so decided to stick with them...they are a fake split rim design and as im getting them powder coated gunmetal,the plastic cap head screws will be of no use after this process,so i need a new set from somewhere,either plastic again,or some stainless self cutting items to screw into the holes.... 10mm cap head,6mm shank and approx 15mm long would be the right dims according to the one plastic item i managed to remove....any sources known to anyone ?

Sounds like you could use an M6 socket head button cap screw... Get some chrome or anodised ones?

You might have to tap the hole in the wheel with an M6 tap...

Sounds expensive and alot of hassle sell the ones you have hand buy ones that you like first time round.

Or send them back.

Well done a quick search and actually the bolts will only cost me around £20 tops for 64 ,also ive got in touch with the seller to see if he can supply me with anything..... as for sending them back its a bit late as they are being powder coated gunmetal as i speak,the original wheels i decided on were a simple 5 spoke affair,these are the same dimensions,just an 8 spoke fake split rim... curves on the spokes remind me of the spider wheel,which is an all time favorite of mine,either wheel was going to colur changed as i didnt want another silver set,and they were a very good price,even with all the faffing about with the fixings... seller was very apologetic for sending the wrong rims,offered to send the original ones,but as ive had to take a day off to ensure i was here to recieve them,and the new ones are ok...ill settle for them.
