Default Blitz 01 help

I've been attempting to sell a set of Blitz 01's since August. No luck. figure if I have them I'll refinish them to something more my taste.

I've been attempting to source replacement bolts since 1 broke during reassembly last time, figure I'd do more this time.

research led me to the Blitz bolts being m6x?? but needed more concrete answeres before moving forward.

I know the BBS bolts are m7x32, and those do not fit. So I'm at square 1.

Contact vrwheels. I know they have had sets of these before and they be able to help you with hardware. What are the specs on the wheels?

Thanks, I'll get with them tonight. Wheel specs are 17x7" +45, 17x8 +51 wrapped in Sumitomo HTR ZIII . Trying to get $1k with tires.

I actually had a set of these rims on my prelude and just recently sold them. I rebuilt them a couple years back and broke three bolts and searched for literally almost a year to find replacements with no luck. I ended up just buying bbs bolts and having the 3 holes in the wheels slightly drilled out and then had the wheels balanced. I think that will most likely be your best bet. I had even contacted blitz and they did not know anywhere that I could source them.

Yeah I've been looking for about that long as well. I figure at the end of the day they're bolts. Not off of a super car, not super rare, they HAVE to be somewhere or used somewhere else. A wheel company using one off custom made bolts for a mass produced wheel doesn't make sense.

Did you contact VR wheels? It seems like one of these used JDM wheel sellers must have run across this. I have seen your wheels I just wish they were wider and a little more aggressive. Good luck

Those bolts are m6, had the same ones on a set of 2 piece Enkeis I refinished. I just threw out about a hundred of them, wish I knew you needed one. I bought a bunch of new m6 bolts in a different style (Allen head) and replaced them all. Good luck.

I contacted VR, waiting for an email back. Yeah they're not the most aggressive wheels but are the perfect upgrade for a DD who wants a bit more. That's why I got them in the first place. Thanks

Yeah I know they're M6, I didn't know the thread count, where'd you end up ordering the replacement bolts from? If you end up not grabbing these off me I'm going to PC them and would replace them all anyway.
