Thanks for that mate, tried the rubber mallet today with no joy, centres just dont want to come out.

Maybe they have been bonded on or something? Starting to think I should give it up as a bad job and fit them as they are.

I can only tell you that I needed to really wallop mine to get them out, as I said with a 5lb lump hammer I managed to dent the inside of the spokes a little. I can imagine that someone might bond them when fitting them. I don\'t really know what you could other than wack them some more :(

Bigger hammer + Lots of swearing = Good Times

Centre fell out.

120 Annoying Torx Bolts to remove from remaining 4 wheels = Bad Times

lol

Are you re-using the original bolts? I`ve heard that they are stretch bolts and shouldnt really be re-used...

Not sure about that. I know D2BBA reused his bolts. I would prefer to use new bolts but I don\'t have the first clue where to get some. I contacted Blitz UK and they said that they have discontinued split rims and so can\'t supply me with replacements.

They\'re only tightened to approx 20ft/lbs so they shouldn\'t really stretch but you must use thread lock.

thanks mate!

that picture really doesnt do them justice, they look great..perfect size and fitment for the car I think.

Nice bit of tyre stretch, nice bit of camber, nice bit of slammage on the coilovers, nice bit of shiney dish.

Perfect :D lol

Hey Trev, glad to see the wheels have gone to a good home and they do look stunning on your car.
 
If you get a sec, can you send me a bigger pic, would love to see how they cleaned up.
