They look great! Did they replace all the bolts holding the two pieces together? I have the same wheels and I had a tough time sourcing the replacement bolts. Bentley won't sell them as they have had many problems with refurbed wheels coming apart under load.

 

they just refurbed the bolts aswell...
no issues at all...

 

Nice job, you can wear them with pride. I particularly like the subtle separation between the painted alloy and the polished outer rim - class. So much better than all polished like a mirror. (drug dealer)

 

Scared to say anything now, Admin chastised me for putting up my wheels and mentioning the results were so good I might add them to my business??

Wow, didn't realise this was a controlled Socialist site,,,

 

Need to be careful here mentioning “ drug dealer “ .
I mentioned it in relation to some horrible after market body kit ..being advocated ...my view “ could be mistaken for a dd “ not you are a dd and I was subject to the forums Amin thought police .
A couple of members or was it one with dual user names ? Ended up taking it two personal and attempted to play the race card .
Ended up a right 8hit storm over nothing .

Any how back on topic
The bolts with a Muliners .
I change summer / winter tyres so 2x year my car is in the tyre fitters.
Just before one change I notices a cyclical rumble from a front wheel .Nothing Obvious on examination, since it was at the fitters 2 days booked in advance I thought I’d ask them to do a proper examination ( thinking bearing ? ) .
When they took the tyre of a front wheel , they kinda drop the wheel deliberately on sand bag thingy and reported the knocking sound was from a few loose bolts at one segment of the Muliner .
They did not want to torque them up ......3/4 from memory and said words along the line new wheel as it’s buckled ....only slightly .
But they got out the socket / hex / star —. set and explained they were more than happy for the owner to torque them up .They don’t want responsibility from a legal come back sense .
So that’s what I did. Just torque them up .
That cyclical rumble went btw . Been 2 years and another 4 tyre swops as well .....all Ok

Since read around the subject here what I found
Bentley front wheels 90 % are buckled .....you just don’t realise .
Bentley Muliners bolts are an odd size and star fitting .
Use a thread lock paste ,
They do indeed work loose .
Service manual says don’t repair .....only replace the whole wheel .
If you do dismantle one never reuse the bolts.
Oh one more thing the bolts can corrode and cease in often the head snaps off .This means drilling out the stub .So don’t under a DIY strip unless you are confident of recovery from a sheared head of a bolt .

just my 0.2 p worth .

I guess like the (Y ) rated tyres .....are those wheels ever gonna see speeds in excess [ insert your speed ] .....for me can’t remember last time I went 90:mph never mind 190 + .
So iam happy with a “ repair “ .
