Stainless Steel Bolts For Range Rover Alloys?

[James Temple]

Hi Everyone,

Just got some new Range Rover Type alloys fitted with the bolts provided by the alloy seller. The van has been left a few days and I return to this rust.

Are stainless bolts available? I’ve had no luck searching, then I’ll get some gloss black plastic covers for them.

Thanks in advance, cheers

Have a look at this firm on ebay...

I've never seen that happen before, are you sure it's from the wheel bolts? Why would anyone manufacture a wheel bolt that rusts that quickly.

Don't try and use Stainless steel bolt, stainless is too "Nobel" and cause the allow wheel seats to corrode.

Thanks for the replies Guys, I think as these were supplied by the alloy company they will be the cheapest of the cheap.

Will checkout watfields and good advice not to be stainless cheers
