Last time I checked Julian at Rareims was still an authorised advertiser.


Anyhow emailed him recently after buying scary of 2nd hand rota torques, but I needed some centre caps for them, which he supplied very quickly and cheaply!

Then I decided to replace my wheel nuts and lock nuts as the rota wheels offer quite slim holes for the nuts and I didn't want to mark them!

So again in touch with Julian who got me a set of each (and another set for a mate) again extremely quickly and cheaply, I also got a touch up pen for my wheels which is a perfect match!

I've not seen the rota nuts before but they have an internal thread and adaptor to fit them without any chance of marking my wheels!

All in all very happy with the service I received, the quality of the goods and the price I paid for them!!

:lol:

Cheers for the pics.

These ones? http://www.rarerims.co.uk/accessories_s ... RangeID=88
12x1.5 the correct size iirc??
Is there a seperate / different locking nut or is there no need?
Appologies for all the questions

 

[mikegsi]

That's them mate, can't remember the size though as I've bought mine for my Evo.

There is a seperate more 'orthodox' lock nut, these standard nuts are torque driven so anyone with a reasonable set of tools would get them off


I would email him for a price, mention this forum and he should offer you further discounts, he did for me!

Cheers and thanks again for the help Mike (hope you dont mind me posting these in your thread).
They're 12 x 1.5.

 

[mikegsi]

dont mind whatsoever mate, youve added to the original 'intention' of the thread with a proper link and pics of them fitted :green:


how did they feel as you tightened them up?

 

[Mark_teg]

They felt fine, though I'll be checking them after a drive. You fitted yours yet?
Dont know the correct torque do you? (it would be the same as yours)

 

[mikegsi]

No not fitted mine mate, my rims are waiting for my set of 888's to go on then I may fit them next month sometime.

Torque setting, got a torque wrench but never use it, though I might find out and make an exception for these, normally my right arm is my torque wrench!! Pretty sure Julian will know what setting they should be

 

[C&S Evo7]

from memory normally 70-80 lb ft or 105-115 nm for wheel nuts on alloys.
