High-performance fasteners are the critical component of your split rims. Choosing the right material and adhering to assembly procedures ensures the safety and durability of your assemblies. Discover our technical expertise to optimize your configurations.
Choosing the Optimal Material for Your Bolts
The choice of material determines the performance and longevity of your fasteners. Each alloy has specific characteristics suitable for different uses and budgets.
Steel Bolts: Accessible Performance and Aesthetics
Our range of high-strength steel bolts offers excellent value for money for your split rims. With a minimum resistance of 10.9, these bolts guarantee the safety of your assemblies. Available in chrome, gold, black, neo-chrome, velvet red, and electric blue, all our colored bolts benefit from professional electrolytic anti-corrosion treatment.
Stainless Steel Bolts: Ultimate Resistance to Extreme Conditions
For intensive daily use or in harsh environments, our stainless steel bolts are the optimal choice. Forged with an equivalent resistance of 10.9, they offer total anti-corrosion protection without compromising strength.
Grade 5 Titanium Bolts: Technical Excellence and Weight Savings
Our Grade 5 titanium bolts represent the pinnacle of automotive technology. Benefitting from absolute corrosion resistance and a weight saving of over 40%, they maintain a resistance of 10.9. A premium solution for racing configurations.
Maintenance and Care of Split Rim Fasteners
Proper maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of your bolts and preserves their aesthetics. Treated bolts require special precautions to maintain their protective properties.
Protection and Sealing of Treated Bolts
The longevity of your split rim bolts depends on proper maintenance. We recommend using a professional-grade, non-acidic rim sealant to create a durable protective layer.
Torque Settings: Technical Specifications by Model
Adhering to torque settings guarantees the structural integrity of your split rims. Each model and dimension requires specific values for optimal assembly.
We strongly recommend using a specialized professional for reassembling your split rims.
Optimal Tightening Procedure
- Hold the bolt head stationary while tightening the nut
