sr8's beadlock bolt material

All they did was ask for a PM. Let's not read too far into this.

 

Yeah I'll step out too, I'm too involved for something that doesn't affect me at all! I also have never seen anything bad about those guys, which makes me hope this is a one off thing, maybe SCS guy has the flu or something.

 

I do agree and the time tables of folks can def change on the daily. That said though, if there truly is a rust issue I would like to see the results of this. I wheel my truck and if scratches can lead to rust it would be good to know to look for it now instead of being shocked by it later, regardless though I love my wheels.

 

Me as Well...I have some SR8's up in the rust belt myself. If the bolts are stainless I'm thinking it's residual brake bust stuck on the stainless. Im going through my first winter with them and noticed no rust on them yet.

 

Im thinking it very well could be that cause stainless...well is stainless! Even if somehow rust does come, wont be the first on the ride.

 

If it is brake dust, or something similiar, could OP just clean it off then? Has OP tried to wipe it off?

 

I would agree if that is the case...who knows though.

 

beadlock bolts on my 2015 oem pro wheels never did this, had them 2 yrs. brake dust on all 4 rims,, come-on,, i ran it thru car wash thats when i noticed it, just tried to clean them off, still orange, huh

 

So it could be brake dust. You never scrubbed It? Stainless doesn't take care of itself

 

never did anything to my oem 2015 pro rims, they never showed any signs of rust,, this is a forum to keep people informed, if there is a problem with a vendor, we are suppose to keep it quiet,,f-nn brake dust, omg........orange brake dust that is still there after 2 car washes.. and wiped them with a rag, what am i suppose to polish them,, . still no reply from scs,

 

at least give me the bolt specs,so i can replace them myself, almost ordered a second set, glad i did not.

 

Stainless doesn't mean it will always look perfect. My URD exhaust is stainless and that thing looks like it is 100 years old. It is strcturally sound but definitely has picked up rust and such from other components.

 

3/4 months old , and this happens, bullshit,, will take more pics tomorrow and post in the wheels and tire forum, people need to be informed,, that is what forums are about, good or bad,

 

dont care about how my exhaust pipe looks like, but i do about my new rims, holy crap,,, really,, wow..

 

Well I was on OPs side, but now I'm not so sure.

 

Take one out, and take it to the hardware store, they are for appearance only. Or measure the diameter/pitch and order from mcmaster carr. You can also inspect it a bit better and see if it is surface rust from a foreign substance such as brake dust, or if the bolts are actually mild steel and/or have plating defects.

 

Very true man, my go to for almost any bolt is to just roll to the depot and fit it in the little sizing bolt hole thing.

 

I had some Cepek’s do this on my 07. Contacted manufacturer directly. I got new ones in a couple of days.

 

Well than this is an interesting thread.... I heard nothing but good things from scs so this is a first

 

just wanted a answer from the vendor, simple question, and it has come to this,, bolt size specs, seems simple enough, guess not
