Default All the same size....

Hi Corey

The studs/nuts that holds the two halves of the rims together are 7/8 BSF and very difficult to find unless you are lucky and find some NOS ones like the ones Dirk has brand smacking new.

I did obtain a die and tap set form the UK on Ebay at least now we can clean the threads on the rims we have. But from my experience the studs from the 16 and 20 inch rims are all the same.

At over $6 a nut and about $8 for the stud (times 8) plus shipping finding a good spare rim for $50 to $75 dollars might be cheaper.

At the going price a spare CMP rolling chassis can be a good deal.

Bob
