Help: Bbs style 5 wheel bolts/ nuts

[phill_e46]

I'd leave them over night I've never done it, i just figure that if the guy who rebuilt my wheels put the barrels in the oven to expand the holes then a diy could put the bolts in the freezer . But don't tighten the bolts right away just put them on tighten them affter they return back to room temperature .

Well the freezing process is just for fittment purposes , so you want to do it affter refinishing them right before you put them back on the wheels

Centers are getting powder coated and bolts/ nuts chrome plated as we speak.

sounds sick. Wat colour have you chosen to refinish the centers in? Did you re do the barrels?

secondly, where did you take them for powder coating??? I really need to know a good poder coater!



Im about to re do my wheels also as soon as the bolts ive ordered come in from the link you proveded!

thanks for that info by the way

Im doing the centers gloss black and barrels have been polished. There are a lot of good powder coaters. Look for one that is close to your house and you'll see whether there good or not.
I brought them into Metal Coaters.

Is it expensive to powdercoat ?

[E34-Babanca]

Im getting a deal because it's a friend. Usually between $200-$400 for a really good job, but it all depends on color too.
