G'Day eBay ers, For sale we have: Replacement split rim nuts & bolts for Simmons wheels. (Mitch Parts branded - NOT Simmons branded.) Size - M8 x 32mm Grade - 10.9 high tensile steel ASME (American Society for Mechanical Engineers) 18.2.5M standard Colours available - - Black (Nickel) - Black Chrome - Gold - Rose Gold - Chrome Quantities available - 130/150/160 Photos show these splitty bolts & serrated nuts: - fitted to an Aussie made Simmons OM 16. - side by side with the original nuts & bolts that came off of the wheels. My split rim is a 32 bolt. 130 will do 4 wheels with leftover "Murphy's Law." I have gone out researched & had these commissioned manufacturer to replicate the Simmons 90's bolts. They're an odd size & length compared to European (BBS) & Japanese (Work Rays etc) wheels. Currently Simmons Australia prices nuts and bolts a $2 each (thats 2 per nut 2 per bolt.) They are also 35mm which is longer than those originally fitted to my 90's wheels. (Simmons do not currently offer like for like replacement of these bolts.) Further than focusing on the bolt design & dimensions I have also put time & effort into the bolt. for a clean barrell finish theyre all black. For easy / simple fitment they suit a standard socket head. theyre the same high tensile 10.9 grade steel as the bolt & they are serrated as per original Australian Simmons nuts to ensure they grab into the barrell. I searched long & hard and was disgusted at the availability & international prices! some of the quality offered was a bit sketchy too. I offer here the product of 18 months worth of my time, research, financial investment & worry. There is a limited quantity of these available so if youre rebuilding some wheels snap them up quick. Also this is my first attempt. if theyre not profitable they won't be back for round 2. Also, even if they do come back for round 2 it's taken 12 months to get these made & delivered from time of $$ deposit & order. So don't expect they'll still be here later. Disclaimer - I am not in any way associated with Simmons Wheels or the current owner. I am not advertising these bolts as Simmons branded but as the correct dimensions for replacing worn decayed bolts on old Simmons wheels which are no longer available & are not directly supported by the current Simmons brand owner. I do not make any judgement on the Simmons brand or the product offering. I simply represent what they currently advertise. Safety - These nuts & bolts are the same thread length as the old/original bolts removed. Bolts & nuts are 10.9 grade steel - high tensile. The same grade bolts are sold worldwide for rebuild of all different type of split wheels. Simmons do not advertise what their bolts are so I cannot compare. The only higher grade steel available I can find is stainless which significantly jumps the price. these are a style choice it seems. These require specific torque settings & thread locker. Please research guides on rebuilding classic rims. Theres even a forum called "wheel wh0re$" that I have personally signed upto. Safety & Returns Disclaimer - Returns are accepted however I cannot accept used nuts & bolts back as I am unaware of how they have been torqued & this would represent a safety risk to resell. T&C?s /

ABOUT ME
I'm one bloke running this store around running my
own small business entirely unrelated to e B a y sales.
In my spare time I love to tinker with cars. The
stuff advertised here is from my personal collection, from spare parts cars or
purchased from other's collections for resale. All items are unique
They have all aged differently and most have 2 - 3
decades of wear. Please consider this when buying. Even those parts
advertised as NOS have been banging around sheds having packaging damaged.
All care has been taken to accurately describe
items and I'm a fastidious restorer myself so I have a reasonably critical eye.
All items are intentionally photographed so if in
doubt I suggest viewing images on a screen larger than your phone. An HDMI
cable into the TV is always good!
